Недобеременность

[tijd]

С точки зрения теории страха мизогиния - несколько иное явление, чем расизм. Во-первых, речь идёт не о меньшинстве. Эталонные расисты ненавидят расовые меньшинства и желают в идеале от них избавиться. Эталонные мизогинисты обожают женщин - подобно бывшему президенту, который в свое время предлагал сделать телевизионную передачу "Donald Trump Presents the Most Beautiful Women in the World". Если меньшинства представляются конкурентами в борьбе за жизненные блага, то женщины выполняют роль источника этих благ. Общее в обоих случаях - иерархическое отношение. Чтобы не стать триггерами страха, женщины в качестве объектов должны знать своё место, не отказывать в предоставлении своих услуг и избегать инсубординации. Некоторые из них соглашаются на такую роль добровольно, убегая от собственных страхов.

Фрейд несколько перегибал палку, но многое явно закладывается в раннем детстве. Разъясняет психиатр Джастин Франк, автор книжки “Trump on a couch”:

For Frank, the dynamic between infant and mother has a profound influence on a person’s psychological outlook and health. Trump’s mother was Mary Anne MacLeod, who arrived in New York from the Outer Hebridean island of Lewis in 1930. After six years as a domestic worker and nanny, she married the property developer Fred Trump and they had five children.
The otherwise garrulous president has said little about his mother. Notably, for his first few months in the Oval Office, the only photo behind his desk was of his father. His mother was added later. Yet, Frank points out, 72-year-old Trump’s gravity-defying hair is a very deliberate homage to his mum’s.
“The fact that he tries to get us to feel his anxiety and he externalises responsibility makes me feel that, as a young child, he did not feel contained or held by his mother or other caretakers,” he says. “He didn’t have a strong maternal force in his life.
“The one thing we do know biographically is that when he was two, the last child in the family was born, but when his mother went to the hospital she didn’t come home right away. She had a haemorrhage, she had four surgeries and came close to dying and there was virtually no talk about that in the family. His older siblings just went to school as if it were normal while they’re terribly worried about their mother.”
His mother’s frequent absences, Frank suggests, left Trump devoid of empathy.
“One of the things that you do when you’re feeling ignored and abandoned in some way,” he says, “is develop contempt for that part of yourself. You have the hatred of your own weakness and you then become a bully and make other people feel weak, or mock other people to make it clear that you’re the strong one and that you don’t have any needs.
“In fact, at one of his rallies recently somebody was complaining about something and he said, ‘Why don’t you go home to your mommy?’ I was struck that he must have been reading my book.”
Frank adds: “That’s why I think some of his relationships with women are not just based on sex. It had to do with a real contempt for women’s boundaries and autonomy because he’s so angry and so bereft and I think that’s so deeply unconscious.”

В реакционной политике легче прослеживать метки расизма, но скрытая за такой политикой мизогиния - более мощная движущая сила.

Идею “supply-side economics” с одновременным урезанием налогов на богатых и социальной помощи бедным изначально продвигали «прометеи» Джордж Гилдер и Чарльз Мюррей, которых помимо всего прочего роднило отношение к женщинам.

"The idea that young men are civilized by women and marriage" gained currency in the Reagan era, when George Gilder published his screed against feminism, "Sexual Suicide." Gilder argued that men are barbarians unless civilized by marriage, and by demanding sexual and economic freedom, feminists were denying women's crucial civilizing function – and destroying the world as we know it.
Of course the sober Kristof didn't mention the crazy Gilder in his column, but Murray did in his book, approvingly. "Gilder saw disaster looming as women stopped performing this function, a position derided as the worst kind of patriarchal sexism," Murray noted. "But put in less vivid language, the argument is neither implausible nor inflammatory: The responsibilities of marriage induce young men to settle down, focus and get to work … George Gilder was mostly right."
Actually, George Gilder was mostly nuts.

The writings of Gilder and Murray signaled a conservative renewal in welfare policy reform. Their ideas encapsulated the thinking of conservative leaders like Reagan and Thatcher, and encouraged further reforms based on forceful criticisms of the existing system. Indeed, Gilder's Wealth and Poverty (1981) and Murray's Losing Ground: American Social Policy 1950-1980 (1984) are regularly described as Reaganite Bibles. Policy makers in the US and elsewhere became increasingly acquainted with critiques of welfare dependency often borrowed from the writings of these two commentators. Neither book was deeply analytical. Rather, both were confident ideological tracts that embraced Reagan's claim that welfare was the problem. not the solution.
Gilder was especially influential during the first term of the Reagan Administration, providing conservatives with a pro-free market and pro-family ideological attack on the welfare state. Murray followed where Gilder left off, concentrating his critique on welfare policy. Both scathingly dismissed liberal approaches and championed a conservative alternative' (O'Connor 1999). As Sidney Blumenthal (1986: 293) noted:
"On virtually every other desk at the OMB [Office for Management and Budget - the most powerful economic unit within the Reagan Administration] rested the latest conservative best-seller, Charles Murray's Losing Ground, the crucial text of the period, serving the same function of justification as George Gilder's Wealth and Poverty did in the first term."

Гилдер и Мюррей работали в Manhattan Institute - организации, которая существовала на деньги правых филантропистов, в частности миллиардера Ричарда Меллона Скейфа, наследника состояния Эндрю Меллона.

The Manhattan Institute was founded by Antony Fisher with William J Casey who later became Ronald Reagan's campaign director and head of the CIA. Jane Mayer documents this in her book Dark Money when she writes, "Fisher would go on to found another 150 or so free-market think tanks around the world, including the Manhattan Institute in New York, to which both Scaife and other conservative philanthropists would become major contributors. The Sarah Scaife Foundation in fact for many years was the Manhattan Institute's single largest contributor. The donations paid off, from Scaife's viewpoint, when they helped launch the careers of the conservative social critic Murray and the supply-side economics guru George Gilder, whose arguments against welfare programs and taxes had huge impacts on ordinary Americans."

Скейф и его деньги помогли поставить на ноги Heritage Foundation и многие другие организации, без которых нельзя себе представить современную американскую политику.

Scaife was not a direct funder of Religious Right institutions that are household names (that was left to families like Prince/DeVos and Coors), but he was a major funder of the late Paul Weyrich, shepherd of the Religious Right into GOP politics, and co-founder of the Heritage Foundation, the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC), and the Council for National Policy. Described as the “Robespierre of the Right,” for his purges of the insufficiently conservative, Weyrich left the Heritage Foundation and started what would become the Free Congress Foundation (FCF). Scaife, who had supplied the bulk of the seed money for Heritage and served as vice president of the board until his death, also funded Weyrich’s FCF—sometimes to the tune of over a million dollars a year.
This included in 2001, when the FCF published the manifesto “Integration of Theory and Practice,” calling for a new traditionalist movement of conservatives and right-leaning libertarians, and the following.
“Our movement will be entirely destructive, and entirely constructive. We will not try to reform the existing institutions. We only intend to weaken them, and eventually destroy them. We will endeavor to knock our opponents off-balance and unsettle them at every opportunity. All of our constructive energies will be dedicated to the creation of our own institutions.”
In a 2005 CSPAN interview about his career, Weyrich said that he could not have done what he did without the help of Dick Scaife.

В анемнезе Скейфа, как и у Трампа - унаследованное состояние наложенное на недостаток материнской любви.

Like other American families overwhelmed by great riches, the Mellon line has produced numerous unhappy souls. One of them was Thomas Mellon's granddaughter Sarah, who would pass a fortune on to the son everyone called Dickie.
Sarah Mellon Scaife was "just a gutter drunk," in the words of her daughter, Cordelia. "So was Dick," Cordelia Scaife May added of her brother in an interview. "So was I."
If money was most important in shaping Richard Scaife's life, alcohol may come second. In a household dominated by his mother's drinking, Scaife's childhood was pampered but sad, according to his sister. "I don't remember any laughter in that house," she said. The children were raised by nannies and nurses.
Friends describe Scaife as a hard drinker beginning when he was a high school student at Deerfield Academy in Massachusetts. Yale expelled Scaife in March of his freshman year after a drunken evening in which Scaife rolled a keg of beer down a flight of stairs, breaking the legs of a classmate, according to Burton Hersh, biographer of the Mellon family.
As an adult, close friends said, he almost drank himself to death more than once. These people credited both his wives and his longtime aide R. Daniel McMichael for saving him. His second wife, Margaret "Ritchie" Battle Scaife – with help from the Betty Ford Clinic – finally got him on the wagon in the early '90s.
Some of his associates speculated that drinking contributed to a mean streak they saw in Scaife. Others weren't sure the drinking was a factor. From the time he was a teenager, Scaife earned the reputation of a bully.

MAYER: Well, one of the first is Richard Mellon Scaife, who was the heir to the Gulf Oil and Alcoa aluminum fortunes and the Mellon banking fortunes. And what I was able to do was get a hold of Scaife's unpublished memoir, in which he describes his sort of deliberate, long-term, multi-decade effort to take his fortune and build up an infrastructure that will fight a war of ideas in America and pull the country to the right. And he estimates himself that he put, I think it, a billion dollars by current dollars from his own fortune into this enterprise. He also estimates that of the 300 most important conservative organizations in America, he personally bankrolled something like 133 of them. So he describes this. He's growing up in this fabulously wealthy atmosphere. He was a boy in an estate called Penguin Court. His mother thought it was amusing to have real penguins waddling around. And as a boy, when he couldn't sleep, and even later in life when he couldn't sleep at night, he would try to count the rooms in his house and drift off as he was going through the - I think there were 70 bedrooms or something like that. And he felt America was going in the wrong direction, and that is the beginning of the secret history, to some extent - or the hidden history, to some extent, of these billionaires. They felt - several of them felt that, starting in the 1970s, America was getting off course. They disliked the antiwar movement. They disliked the consumer movement that Ralph Nader had started, that to them seemed antibusiness. And they strongly disliked the environmental movement too, which was imposing fines and new rules on major corporations, some of which this small group of enormously wealthy people ran. So they wanted to push back. Some of them backed the Goldwater campaign, but that failed. And they sort of went back to regroup and figure out what else they could do.

Социальные идеи Гилдера и Мюррей, которые ласкали слух миллиардерам и правым политикам, были по сути ложными: основанными на ложных посылках и позже опровергнутыми практикой. Их воплощение с течением времени способствовало усугублению общественных проблем путем увеличения имущественного и образовательного неравенства. Современники прогрессивных взглядов догадывались, куда идет дело, но ничего не могли с этим поделать.

Рецензия на книжку Чарльзя Мюррея "Losing ground" из 1984:

His solution, stripped of the mannered prose, is the familiar one of social Darwinism, a theme that really goes all the way back to the English poor laws. Coddling the poor makes them uppity; if welfare benefits compete with the meager rewards of low-wage jobs, nobody will sweep the streets, and the poor will be spoiled rotten. Affirmative action, which violates the basic link between merit and reward, is a further assault on the work ethic. Thus, we should scrap the social programs, and go back to the discipline of the market.
What differentiates Murray's book from conventional conservative truisms about "permissivness" is the seemingly impressive array of data, and theЕс subtle analysis. For a moment, one believes that social programs indeed cause poverty. But much of the analysis, on closer inspection, is inconsistent with the data; and more seriously, some of the stastics are misleadingly deployed, to put it charitably.

Есть злая ирония истории в том, что жестокий рецепт "scrap the social programs and go back to the discipline of the market" будет подхвачен Биллом Клинтоном, с его собственным багажом мизогинии. Отвернув демократическую партию от помощи обездоленным и развернув ее лицом к Уолл Стрит, Клинтон привлечет не только Ларри Саммерса, но и находящегося с ним по соседству Джеффри Эпштейна.

В 2014 году "Дикки" Скейф скончался от рака, а Клинтон выступил с теплой речью на его поминках, рассказывая об их дружбе и взаимной привязанности.

Bill Clinton on Saturday fondly memorialized one of the key financiers of what Hillary Clinton years ago deemed the “vast right-wing conspiracy.”
Speaking at a private memorial service in southwestern Pennsylvania for Richard Mellon Scaife, who died last month, Clinton recalled how, after his presidency, he built a “counterintuitive friendship” with the conservative billionaire, according to an account of the speech in one of the newspapers Scaife owned.
“He fought as hard as he could for what he believed, but he never thought he had to be blind or deaf” to other views, the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review quotes Clinton saying of its former publisher. A spokesman for Clinton declined to comment.
Scaife, who inherited a fortune from the Mellon banking and oil empire, steered millions of dollars to groups that savagely attacked the Clintons throughout the 1990s. Scaife backed media outlets and nonprofits that pushed scandal after scandal that buffeted the Clinton administration — from the Whitewater real estate controversy to the Paula Jones and Monica Lewinsky sex scandals to raising doubts about the deaths of Clinton aides Vince Foster and Ron Brown.
Scaife confidant Christopher Ruddy, who rose to prominence on the Clinton scandal beat at the Tribune-Review, arranged Clinton’s appearance at Saturday’s memorial. Afterward, he acknowledged his former boss “was the bete noire of the Clinton administration during those years, sort of like what the Kochs are to the Obama administration today.”
But Scaife became enamored with Clinton’s post-presidential philanthropic work on AIDS in Africa and other issues, and a thaw began, said Ruddy, now CEO of the conservative media outlet Newsmax, in which Scaife was a minority shareholder.

Как показало расследование 2019 года, сестра Скейфа Корделия Скейф Мей, получившая свою долю семейного состояния, использовала его для тайного финансирования расистского анти-иммигрантского движения.

She believed that the United States was “being invaded on all fronts” by foreigners, who “breed like hamsters” and exhaust natural resources. She thought that the border with Mexico should be sealed and that abortions on demand would contain the swelling masses in developing countries.
An heiress to the Mellon banking and industrial fortune with a half-billion dollars at her disposal, Mrs. May helped create what would become the modern anti-immigration movement. She bankrolled the founding and operation of the nation’s three largest restrictionist groups — the Federation for American Immigration Reform, NumbersUSA and the Center for Immigration Studies — as well as dozens of smaller ones, including some that have promulgated white nationalist views.

В статье по ссылке рассказывается, как ее умело развел на деньги офтальмолог Джон Тэнтон, создатель сети влиятельных анти-иммигрантских организаций.

FAIR leaders have ties to white supremacist groups and eugenicists and have made many racist statements. Its advertisements have been rejected because of racist content. FAIR’s founder, John Tanton, has expressed his wish that America remain a majority-white population: a goal to be achieved, presumably, by limiting the number of nonwhites who enter the country. One of the group’s main goals is upending the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965, which ended a decades-long, racist quota system that limited immigration mostly to northern Europeans. FAIR President Dan Stein has called the Act a “mistake.”

В 1965 появился не только Immigration and Nationality Act, с которым до сих пор борются противники иммиграции, но и знаковое решение Верховного суда под председательством Эрла Уоррена по делу Griswold v. Connecticut. Суд отменил запрет на использование контрацепции, обосновывая свое решение правом, о котором прямо не упоминается в Конституции - правом человека на "privacy":

"We deal with a right of privacy older than the Bill of Rights — older than our political parties, older than our school system. Marriage is a coming together for better or for worse, hopefully enduring, and intimate to the degree of being sacred. It is an association that promotes a way of life, not causes; a harmony in living, not political faiths; a bilateral loyalty, not commercial or social projects. Yet it is an association for as noble a purpose as any involved in our prior decisions."

На концепции "privacy" и на этом решении будет позже основано знаковое решение по делу Roe v. Wade об отмене запрета абортов, над которым ныне завис дамоклов меч.

Оральная контрацепция ("the pill") вместе с другим расширением свобод внесла вклад в эмансипацию женщин и сексуальную революцию 1960ых и 1970ых, откатом от которой стала культурная контр-революция 1980ых, растянувшаяся на последующие 40 лет.



Сексуальная революция успешно прошла мимо страны - рекордсмена по абортам.

Судьба контрацепции в нашей стране могла бы сложиться безоблачно. Ни врачи, ни власти никогда не любили аборты, хотя когда-то СССР и легализовал их первым в мире. Врачи искали абортам альтернативу, ведь в 1960-е их число уже зашкаливало — в СССР выполнялось в год по 5 — 6 миллионов абортов.
Но первые венгерские контрацептивные пилюли, поступившие в Союз в 1970-е, не устроили ни пациентов, ни врачей из-за сверхвысоких доз гормонов. К тому же гормонов первого поколения. Реакцией на это стали письма Минздрава, запрещавшие врачам назначение таких таблеток с целью контрацепции. В гинекологическом стационаре для лечения гормональных расстройств — да. Для предохранения — нет. В это время по мировому рынку уже победно шествовал первый контрацептив с приемлемыми дозами относительно мягких гормонов второго поколения — микрогинон. Злые языки говорят, что тогда же он появился в дамских сумочках наших разведчиц, работавших «в постели с врагом». Остальной части советских женщин врачи женских консультаций упорно и жестко говорили, что никакой контрацепции до первых родов в природе не существует!
И вот тут начинается странная, почти детективная история. В начале 1980-х венгры и восточные немцы (Германия еще была разделена) делают работоспособные копии микрогинона. В 1982-м препараты с гормонами второго поколения начинают поставляться в СССР. К этому времени вал абортов в Союзе достигает апогея. Казалось бы, Минздрав должен был разослать новые инструкции в женские консультации: вот она, разумная альтернатива абортам и прекрасная контрацепция до первых родов! Но Минздрав молчит. На экзаменах в медицинских институтах студенты по-прежнему чеканят: «После первых родов — спираль, до первых родов — ничего». Врачи, имеющие доступ к переводной литературе, в недоумении: почему страну, изнывающую от абортов, не ставят в известность о том, что в аптеках СССР появились приличные пилюли? Ни минздравовских писем, ни методичек, ни изменений в учебных программах вузов — глухо, как в танке...
По словам хорошо осведомленного источника, в кулуарах Минздрава циркулировали два довода. Первый: при невысокой сексуальной культуре в СССР внедрение таблеток ничего хорошего не даст. Второй: мы оральную контрацепцию не запрещали — и специально разрешать ее нужды нет. Так создалась беспрецедентная ситуация: целый класс препаратов оказался в огромной стране вне закона.
Помните, как в 1986-м во время телемоста Ленинград — Сиэтл разъяренная женщина крикнула, что секса в Советском Союзе нет? Она даже не подозревала, насколько была права. Секс в СССР объективно не мог быть тем «безопасным наркотиком», которым он стал на Западе после «сексуальной революции», разбуженной первыми таблетками. Ведь поскольку у нас таблетки оказались под полузапретом — их покупали не для плановой контрацепции, а для того, чтобы «выпить пачку при задержке» и вызвать выкидыш. Презервативы были дефицитом, но за ними, кстати, тогда особо не гонялись — считалось, что они уж очень «снижают ощущения». Страна не предохранялась! В Союзе в секс ныряли, как в омут с головой, мучительно стараясь хотя бы на ближайшие часы или минуты забыть о неизбежной расплате. Она была известна: роддом, абортарий, ЗАГС или кожвендиспансер.

Версия Игоря Кона:

«Новые методы контрацепции не только не внедрялись, но всячески дискредитировались. Особенно негативным было отношение к гормональной контрацепции. Споры о достоинствах и недостатках оральной контрацепции начались в СССР уже в 19б0-х годах, однако Министерство здравоохранения в начале 1970-х годов заняло в этом вопросе жесткую консервативную позицию. Приказом от 1 августа 1971 года применение пилюль было разрешено только в лечебных целях, но не как средство предотвращения беременности, потому что, по мнению авторов этого приказа, долгосрочное применение пилюль имеет сильный побочный канцерогенный эффект. В инструктивном письме Минздрава СССР, выпушенном в 1974 году, нагнетались еще большие страхи: пилюли противопоказаны женщинам, страдающим 10 разными заболеваниями, а с учетом косвенных противопоказаний, их не следовало рекомендовать по крайней мере 8-9 женщинам из 10! Эти выводы широко пропагандировались среди практических врачей и в массовой печати, породив у населения крайне враждебное отношение к гормональной контрацепции. Искусственный аборт по сравнению с пилюлями казался безобидным.
Почему советская медицина заняла в этом вопросе такую реакционную позицию?
Первая очевидная причина - невежество и беспринципность медиков, пользовавшихся устаревшими сведениями и охотно принимавших любые "антизападные" установки, особенно когда это затрагивало корыстные ведомственные и личные интересы. Советская медицина, как и вся советская жизнь, была крайне инерционна, отказываться от налаженной абортной службы и создавать нечто новое чиновникам не хотелось, абортные клиники давали Минздраву немалые деньги, да и сами врачи извлекали из них "левые" доходы.
Были и причины более общего порядка. Власти боялись, что распространение пилюль может привести к значительному снижению рождаемости в стране. Кроме того переход от абортной стратегии к контрацептивной означал существенное расширение прав личности, ослабление государственного контроля за репродуктивным поведением и замену его сознательным самоконтролем. Врач в этом случае остается только консультантом, решение же принимает сама женщина. Это противоречило главным политическим установкам советской власти и всему ее историческому опыту. Тоталитарное государство не могло отказаться от контроля за репродуктивным поведением своих подданных, обязанных поставлять ему дешевую рабочую силу и пушечное мясо.»
http://www.demoscope.ru/weekly/2003/0123/analit02.php



Но "контролем за репродуктивным поведением" озабочены не только тоталитарные государства. Свобода женщин репродуктивного возраста самим выбирать сексуальных партнеров и планировать рождение детей отдает инсубординацией и тем самым порождает мизогинические страхи.

В феврале 2012, через пару недель после того, как Трамп демонстративно поддержал Ромни на выборах, миллиардер из Вайоминга Фостер Фриесс, сторонник другого кандидата, позволил себе отпустить во время телевизионного интервью грубую шутку о контрацепции.

Foster Friess proved to be a real pill on MSNBC’s “Andrea Mitchell Reports” today. Mitchell asked the mega-wealthy and conservative bank roller of Rick Santorum’s presidential campaign if he had any concerns about Santorum’s comments on social issues such as contraception and women in combat. Friess’s stupefying, backward and dangerous response had jaws dropping from coast to coast.
"People seem to be preoccupied with sex. I think it says something about our culture. We, maybe, need a massive therapy session so we can concentrate on what the real issues are. This contraceptive thing. My gosh, it’s so inexpensive. Back in my days they used Bayer Aspirin for contraception. The gals put it between their knees, and it wasn’t that costly."
So, in a Friess world, women could protect themselves from the amorous (and otherwise) intentions of men as long as the Bayer doesn’t slip from the knees? And I thought Santorum saying that contraception is “a license to do things in the sexual realm that is counter to how things are supposed to be” was bad. The Friess remark was so out-there that even my editor asked me, “Are you kidding me???”
Mitchell, who has seen and heard it all in her storied journalism career, was rendered speechless. “I wasn’t sure I’d heard him correctly. I was pretty stunned,” she told me in an e-mail. “It takes a lot to make me speechless, but on another level, it’s fascinating to see that when it comes to gender politics, the more things change the more they seem to stay the same.”

Фостер Фриесс, как и Скейф, входил в заговорщическую организацию Council for National Policy и был там не просто спонсором, но и президентом (в 1997-1998).

В том же 2012 он встретил на республиканском съезде 18-летнего Чарли Керка и выписал тому чек на $10 тысяч, став таким образом основателем организации Turning Point USA, позже игравшей для Трампа роль аналога молодежной организации "Наши" дла Путина.

Фриесс также помог Такеру Карлсону, уволенному с MSNBC, и дал тому денег (изначально три миллиона) на новый сайт Daily Caller. Сайт послужил трамплином для возвращения Карлсона на телеэкран в виде комментатора Fox News, ныне самого популярного в стране (и в программе Дмитрия Киселева).

The Daily Caller has published false stories on multiple occasions. The website publishes articles that dispute the scientific consensus on climate change. Until 2018, the website had also published articles by white supremacists such as Jason Kessler and Peter Brimelow. Scott Greer was deputy editor at The Daily Caller. After his departure in June 2018, it was revealed that he published articles espousing white nationalist, racist anti-black and antisemitic views under a pseudonym in white supremacist publications.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Daily_Caller



Присматриваясь к Карлсону, нетрудно увидеть знакомую траекторию - недостаток материнской любви в детстве, унаследованное состояние и мизогиния зрелого возраста, которая резонирует с определенным сегментом населения. Цикл продолжается.

Tucker Carlson grew up with his brother in La Jolla, nurturing a rebellious streak that he never turned against his father, perhaps because his father shared it, and perhaps because he had no one else. His mother, a bohemian, left the family when he was six and ultimately settled in France; the boys never saw her again. “Totally bizarre situation—which I never talk about, because it was actually not really part of my life at all,” Carlson says. In 1979, the year Carlson turned ten, his father married Patricia Swanson, of the frozen-food Swansons. <...>
Last December, when a writer named Lauren Duca received a call from Carlson’s producers, inviting her on the show, she had good reason to say no: it was her husband’s birthday, and he told her, “I’d rather you not get yelled at today.” But Duca was feeling idealistic. She had recently written an article for Teen Vogue comparing Trump to an abusive husband. In the aftermath, she had received some sympathetic e-mails from Trump supporters, and she allowed herself to imagine the headlines her interview with Carlson might generate: “rare rational conversation on fox.”
What resulted, instead, was a session so hostile that it might have made Jon Stewart weep, if he had seen it—and, considering how widely it circulated, there is a good chance he did. After a temperate start, in which the two seemed close to agreeing on the public responsibilities of Trump’s daughter Ivanka, Carlson zeroed in on an infelicitous phrase from Duca’s essay: she had claimed that Trump was “threatening the sovereignty of an entire religion,” and Carlson demanded that she explain what that meant. Eventually, Carlson, getting irritated, tried to embarrass her by reading the headlines to some pop-culture stories she had written, including one about the singer Ariana Grande and her “epic thigh-high boots.” He ended the interview with a condescending sneer. “You should stick to the thigh-high boots—you’re better at that,” he said.
Viewers saw Duca register shock, and heard the first part of her reply: “You’re a sex—” Then her microphone was cut, although viewers could lip-read the rest: “—ist pig!”
