Blaming Women

There was an item on CNN this morning (I was bored, okay?) about how childhood obesity is linked to more women in the workplace. The line goes something like, since women don't have time to make dinner or foist exercise on their children, the kids are consigned to a life of Burger King and XBox.

What about men?

At no point did the story suggest that, well, maybe fathers are just as capable of cooking meals as mothers are. The central premise that women ought to cook every meal was sort of assumed in the article. I don't know whether it was deliberate or not, but it's something to ponder the next time that you hear that the media has some sort totalitarian "feminazi" agenda that it is eager to enforce.
