Fox News host Rachel Campos-Duffy asserted on this week's Sunday Briefing that women should embrace their "actual purpose in life" by becoming mothers.
Jacqui Heinrich, sitting in for Peter Doocy, asked for Campos-Duffy's reaction to First Lady Melania Trump'sMother's Day op-ed in The Washington Post.
"You have such a unique perspective as a mom of nine and a working mom, at that," Heinrich said. "And I'm sure hearing those words from the first lady means a lot to you."
"Yeah, you know, I have a heart for working moms, but I also have a heart for at-home moms," Campos-Duffy said. "I was an at-home mom for 14 years before I ended up contributing and getting the show with Fox & friends on the weekend."
She continued:
And this is what I loved about the first lady's op-ed, Jacqui, it was beautiful. And I'm glad you picked that quote, she said, "the moral order of things." For so long, feminism and feminists have been demanding that we put work first. Remember Sheryl Sandberg said, "Put your boot on the gas pedal, girls," you know, during one of her commencement addresses. And, you know, "Put your career, go, go, go!" And we saw the rise of the girl boss. And here's Melania Trump saying, "No, there's a perfect order to this. First and foremost, as women, as mothers, our first and primary, you know, obligation both physically for our kids but also spiritually for ourselves and our kids is our calling, our vocation, to motherhood. And this is a very different message!
"You're seeing lots of articles from young women and social media saying, 'I don't want the pill anymore,'" Campos-Duffy said. "Part of that is MAHA, right? But part of it is also an embracing of what our actual purpose in life is."
She added, "You see it in even Gen-Z, people coming forward and saying, 'We've tried it the other way, and it's left women unfulfilled, on SSRIs, and unhappy. Let's embrace motherhood, because that's how, as the first lady said, the moral order of things."

There is rampant, pervasive misogyny among right wing influencers and social media content creators. Stars like Andrew Wilson and Michael Knowles openly call for taking the vote away from women and forcing them to be breeders.
I'm a mother but it didn't fulfill me as a person. I needed a career. So they can all kiss my ass. I don;t blame any woman for not wanting kids
That's a bald faced lie. Gen Z women generally see motherhood as a barrier to fulfillment. They still prioritize financial stability and self-development before starting a family, if at all. There are no statistical numbers to say otherwise. There is, however, a growing gap between Gen Z woman and Gen Z men who do prioritize parenthood. Women who do want a family are more likely to want an even distribution in household tasks and less likely to assume traditional gender rolls.
That must be why they are so happy and not suffering from massive amounts of mental illness. They've figured out life.
Watching the high divorce rates and corporate burn out of the previous generation was an education. Being raised by suddenly single mother's... victims of marital infidelity who struggled with depression wasn't as fun as MAGA influencers would like us to believe.
d corporate burn out of the previous generation
And telling girls they are failures if they don't obtain and thrive in those jobs does what, exactly? Teaching girls to define fulfillment by corporate success is an obvious recipe for disaster and yet the generation that's been completely immersed it is the most unhappy ever. What a surprise!
Gen Z was less likely to be raised by suddenly single mothers than others. Single mothers yes. And that creates issues. But divorce rates in the US peaked in 1980.
Only misogynist douchbags tell girls they are failures when they are not. Like the MAGA influencers that call them failures for not meeting 'their actual purpose' of being breeding stock.
Gen Z woman define corporate success as a work life balance. What that means is different from woman to woman according to her individual needs. They seek out hobbies and travel while they are still young enough to enjoy it. 83% of Gen Z women enjoy solo travel adventures.
Peaked, not stopped.
Yes, it's crazy what progressives are doing to them..
Gen Z woman define corporate success as a work life balance
Yet they are the most unhappy generation with massive mental health problems, particularly those that describe themselves as progressive. Probably should look into that and stop doing what's been done to them the last few decades.
Peaked, not stopped.
So? If you were correct, the probably would have "peaked" with Gen X. It did not.
Now your actively gaslighting.
You'll have to explain how being treated like breeding stock will make Gen Z woman happier.
You said peak, not me. All I pointed out was that for every peak there is an upward and downward slope. Stop trying to fit a round peg in a triangular hole.
According to gemini:
No worries, I looked it up and found it too. None of that points to popping out puppies making Gen Z women happier.
I made the edit in my original post.
To claim there is some "purpose" women must or should fulfill requires there be something or someone establishing that purpose. Of course, we all know who the MAGA misogynists think that something is, their male deity that they supposedly worship by interpreting what this male deity wants from those under their control. It's the backbone of conservative Christian theology and they will claim all sorts of bullshit about how living the way white conservative Christian males tell you to is the best way to live. But what they really mean is that if everyone would just shut the hell up and live the way white conservative Christian males tell them to live, it would make life 'Great Again' for white conservative Christian males. If you're not a white conservative Christian male, then your job is to support a white conservative Christian male, because in their minds, behind every 'Great Man' is an obedient woman.
It's not really a mystery why so many douchey MAGA dicks try and mansplain why women should just shut up and do as their told using threats of never finding the ever elusive "happiness" if they don't. These sad sacks of vinegar will always try and bring up statistics and show slight margins of some moronic conservative metric to 'prove' women would be happier if they just submitted to their white conservative Christian male authorities. They're desperate to convince everyone because that would make the lives of the many poorly educated rightwing conservative misogynists so much easier and will make their lives happier and reduce the high numbers of incel's among them. The downside, of course, being that most of the women would be miserable servants living under MAGA's desired 'Handmaids Tale' society but that doesn't really matter so much to MAGA men as long as they get theirs.
It's ludicrous and spits in the eye of woman who are infertile.
Let's talk about mother's little helpers in the 60s
No one cared if June Cleaver's brain was prematurely fried as long as she looked good in a size too small sweater.
funny how she always wore a pearl necklace and named her 2nd child after a part of hubby's anatomy, beaver cleaver ...
Wally was the original MAGA and couldn't pronounce Theodore.
... or spell it.
