Tomi Lahren Slanders Zoomer “Stay At Home” Sons with Laura Ingraham

One of the biggest divides within the culture is that of gender. As politics becomes increasingly bifurcated by sex, the Democrats have become the feminized party, while Trump’s electoral success in 2024 was rooted in his appeal to young men. The “Baron Trump” strategy of Donald Trump appearing on Joe Rogan and other major podcasts while serving up Hulk Hogan’s Trumpamania was a major tailwind for the campaign. This contributed to an impressive 11% improvement in the 18–24-year-old bloc. Despite the tangible success, the masculinized politics found critics within Conservative Inc. via various political punditry. Megyn Kelly criticized the Madison Square Garden rally for being too “bro-tastic.”

These criticisms manifest in one of the biggest problems the modern world is facing: the marriage crisis. Since the 1960s, both marriage rates and fertility have plummeted. The average age for a man hovers around 30.4 while for a woman it is 28.4, both near all-time highs according to the US Census. If this issue were strictly economic, one would expect that more established men near 30 would be picking off younger women in their early to mid-20s, widening the age gap, but this is not reflected in the data. Thus, the problems are cultural. While the culture has largely normalized discussing the plight of the dating marketplace wherein the apps fail to facilitate new relationships due to algorithms and female hypergamy, there is still one cultural institution that lags behind the times when it comes to addressing grave problems: The Republican Party.

For months, Mike Johnson has been blaming young men for draining Medicaid and social services through stereotypical talking points that have no basis in reality. Minority women and the elderly, for whom FICA taxes are paid out to, are the biggest drains on the welfare system. But Mike Johnson will not paint the more realistic picture of a black baby mama with multiple children through unprotected fornication, draining the system through subsidized rent, SNAP, and Medicaid as the real burden on the system. Instead of blaming the single mothers, whose whoredom burdens everyone, he blames the men.

On Fox News, a viral clip between Laura Ingraham and Tomi Lahren circulated in which the latter echoed Speaker Johnson’s talking points while proceeding to blame men for the marriage crisis.

It’s a major problem and you know, Speaker Johnson has been talking about those maybe deadbeat folks that are on Medicaid and maybe some of those folks are the stay-at-home sons, we don’t know. But I’ll tell you this, leave it to Gen. Z to rebrand laziness and social awkwardness as something cutesy, like a stay-at-home son. They did much the same thing with “quiet quitting.” Or you can go to work and do less, and if you call it quiet quitting it’s somehow better.

Official unemployment data shows that for white people between the ages of 20-24 and 25-34, the unemployment rate for men is only 2.7% and 1% higher, respectively. This is without factoring in the type of employment, underemployment, or that DEI programs benefit women over men.

The concept of “quiet quitting” describes the behavior of Gen X or Millennials who slowly check out of their job prior to outright leaving. The 1990s featured several major films about men who were disengaged from their monotonous white-collar labor, so this concept is hardly novel. If there was a sizable portion of men checked out of a society, which white men built, maybe that is because society, through DEI and the Civil Rights Act, actively disenfranchises men, as has been documented by Christopher Caldwell and Jeremy Carl. Then there is the importation of H1Bs in tech industries who actively undercut STEM-educated men from jobs they received degrees to get.

Likely, she wants these false claims to be true, which is where she transitions into the marriage crisis:

But Laura, I got to tell you, this is also a big problem when it comes to, I think declining birth rates, people not getting married and having children, you know, that’s a big problem. They blame it on women. Well, look at what young women have to choose from the pickings are slim. Yes, we might have a feminism problem in America, but it’s the feminization of men. There are a lot of young women out there that wanna get married. They wanna have kids. They wanna have stable families. But there are a lot of young men out there who want to live in mama’s basement and order DoorDash. And therein lies a big part of the problem.

Nothing Tomi Lahren said was original, but women in Con Inc have repeatedly used these talking points. Lahren is functionally arguing that women disproportionately desire families but simply cannot achieve this because all the men are feminized and lazy. Pew research found that 57% of childless men desire children versus only 45% of women. Thus, women are driving the desire to be childless more than men. While there is some truth to the masculinity crisis, the litany of data from dating apps demonstrates that women have virtually unlimited options. From the political spectrum alone, there are more conservative men than women. This is without factoring in obesity and other dysgenic alterations that are associated with feminism, which render women unattractive.

The real issue is that young women, even if they are conservative, prioritize career over family. Megyn Kelly is a textbook example of this, which is why her first marriage ended in divorce. Nevertheless, she advocates that women can do it all while lamenting the fact that “we [got] to the point where we’re now telling young, conservative, amazing women that they’re not attractive if they also work.” Obviously, a man pursues marriage for the purpose of establishing a family, so a career-minded woman is an impediment to that goal. Furthermore, men do not fundamentally value a woman’s career because her money is not his money. Her income is irrelevant when he is the one paying for dates.

What is most dangerous is that this attitude is pervasive in lawmakers, their consultants, their staffers, and their messaging, all of which is contrary to the goals of resolving the fertility crisis, winning elections, and making America great again. They refuse to tailor messaging and work solutions for their most important voter base. They blame men, not minorities, for burdening the system. They say to work at Panda Express rather than removing foreign labor, all while these industries platform e-girls over more qualified men solely because of their looks. While many openly criticize the occupation of the government by Zionists, the most taboo subject within Con Inc. is that it is occupied by women.

What transpires in conservatism is often mirrored within churches. Many churches for years have been lauding the gift of singleness as normative when it is generally an exception within the context of 1 Corinthians. These churches do this instead of preaching marriage and child-rearing as duties and expectations in life. Most churches probably praise their young women when they go off to college, when they should be encouraging them towards marriage. Regarding men, the conference circuit has increasingly operated matchmaking events, but the local churches should be at the forefront, not chastising the men while providing inadequate availability. This becomes more insulting if they advocate that the men “step up” and date a formerly promiscuous woman or a single mother. No thanks.

Churches might not be pro-abortion conservative e-girls like Tomi Lahren, but her talking points are ubiquitous within the modern church all the same.
