Alyssa Milano says fathers telling sons to 'take care of your mother' is misogynistic, gets thoroughly trounced: 'Her woke opinion only hurts women'



Alyssa Milano – who has no shortage of questionable tweets that have been widely panned – uncorked yet another post on Twitter that was thoroughly trounced by many. The "Who's the Boss?" actress ticked off a generous number of Twitter users this weekend by claiming that fathers telling their sons to "take care of your mother" is misogynistic.

On Thursday night, Milano tweeted: "Can we stop saying to our sons things like: 'take care of your mother while I’m gone.' This is insinuating that women can’t take care of ourselves. And it's bulls**t."

Can we stop saying to our sons things like: \u201ctake care of your mother while I\u2019m gone.\u201d\n\nThis is insinuating that women can\u2019t take care of ourselves. And it\u2019s bullshit.

Twitter reactions to Milano's tweet flew in fast and furious. Many commentators only saw positives in dads telling their sons to care for their mom and not to let anything bad happen to the matriarch. While at the same time, others believed that the actress was fishing for attention.

Actor Adam Baldwin said: "The only thing it might 'insinuate' to women who can actually take care of themselves is a fatherly sense of familial love & duty encouraged to sons staying behind on the homefront while dad’s away. Regular healthy women aren’t offended by this."

Daily Wire CEO Jeremy Boreing replied: "We basically have. Look what it’s gotten us."

Columnist Kurt Schlichter simply said: "No. We can't."

Reporter Alana Mastrangelo tweeted: "No. Boys need to become men."

Actor Nick Searcy questioned: "Imagine being married to someone who hates men this much."

Author Chad Felix Greene snarked: "Run out of things to be outraged over, huh."

YouTuber Adam Grandmaison just wrote: "Mental illness."

Actor Matthew Marsden exclaimed: "I always say this to my sons. So no. F*** off. I’m raising men."

Tablet Magazine's Noam Blum fired back: "Or maybe the point is to make the kid feel important and responsible and not everything is about you."

YouTuber Justin Whang joked: "Father on his deathbed: Take care of your mother while I’m gone. Alyssa Milano: This is insinuating that women can’t take care of ourselves. And it’s bullsh**t. Father: *dies*"

A commenter added: "What a miserable mind. I will always tell my son to take care of his mother while I'm gone. Sometimes it's the little things that reveal the cultural divide."

A Twitter user said: "Alyssa Milano is so self-centered she doesn’t realize it’s at least in part for the benefit of teaching boys to look out for and protect others, especially the women in their lives. Ironic that she was one of the people who spoke during the me too movement."

Another person stated: "God forbid that people ask families to...act like families."

Someone pointed out: "Weird Alyssa Milano showing us once again why most of us are better at this parenting thing. Why in the world would you insinuate it’s a negative thing to teach our sons respect and the importance of always taking care of their mother? This is one unhinged lady."

A female commenter responded: "What @Alyssa_Milano doesn’t realize is that her statement further deprives boys of opportunities to learn compassion and respect for women. Her 'woke' opinion only hurts women and ensures boys remain boys, like all wokeism."

Another Twitter user advised: "Boys....take care of your mothers if your dad is gone. And never, ever listen to Alyssa Milano."

A woman said: "Imagine finding fault with a man telling his son to look after his mother. Every woman should be so lucky."

Because of the backlash, Milano made it so only her followers could directly respond to her tweet. However, even her own followers called her out on her parenting premise.

Reuters reporter Rollo Ross wrote: "I understand this take if it's from a man but everybody who said this to me growing up was female and in that respect, I don't feel it was a bad thing. It showed me just how much my mother was doing for me and that I could and should help her out rather than being complacent."

Columnist Leslie Streeter retorted: "As a widow who lost my husband when my son was not yet 2, I don’t feel the same way you do about it. It’s not 'Protect her from a bear' on an episode of ‘Little House.' I feel my husband would just want my son to love me and comfort me."

Alyssa Milano was a trending topic on Twitter during the weekend, and the "Fear" actress addressed the controversy by once again making it about misogyny.

"Apparently, I trended on Twitter today for tweeting that saying things to our sons like: 'take care of your mother,' implies to the son that women are incapable of taking care of themselves. The fact that this recognition of innate misogyny trended is part of the problem."

Twitter bashes Bloomberg's advice on how to deal with inflation: Eat beans, take the bus, skip getting chemo for your sick dog



Everyone is being straddled with the hardships of staggering inflation. Earlier this month, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that the consumer price index increased 7.9% over the past 12 months – reaching a new 40-year high for inflation. A Bloomberg Opinion piece provided Americans with advice on how to deal with record inflation, which included eating beans, taking the bus, and skipping chemo for your sick dog. Twitter lambasted the article by calling the piece "out of touch."

Teresa Ghilarducci – a self-proclaimed "retirement security expert" and professor of economics at the New School for Social Research – wrote an opinion piece for Bloomberg titled: "Inflation Stings The Most If You Earn Less Than $300K. Here's How To Deal."

Ghilarducci highlighted that "prices for animal-based food products will certainly increase." The writer noted, "Meat prices have increased about 14% from February 2021 and will go up even more."

Ghilarducci added, "Though your palate may not be used to it, tasty meat substitutes include vegetables (where prices are up a little over 4%, or lentils and beans, which are up about 9%)."

The article pointed out that gas prices are up a whopping 38% in February 2022 compared to the previous year. The writer recommended taking public transportation such as a bus. The article also suggested selling your car.

Another piece of inflation advice is to skip getting chemotherapy for your dog suffering from cancer.

"If you’re one of the many Americans who became a new pet owner during the pandemic, you might want to rethink those costly pet medical needs. It may sound harsh, but researchers actually don’t recommend pet chemotherapy — which can cost up to $10,000 — for ethical reasons."

The article included a link to a study that examined the "ethics of using chemotherapy in dogs with cancer."

"As chemotherapy is not generally considered curative, it is in effect palliative care," the study declared. "However, palliative care may not be in the best interests of a terminally ill animal."

The American Kennel Club advised, "Cancer is unfortunately often incurable in dogs. In these cases, chemo may still be recommended as a way to help ease your pet’s symptoms resulting from the disease."

The official Bloomberg Opinion Twitter account promoted the article by tweeting: "Take the bus. Don’t buy in bulk. Try lentils instead of meat. Nobody said this would be fun."

Inflation stings most if you earn less than $300K. Here's how to deal: \n\n Take the bus\n Don\u2019t buy in bulk\n Try lentils instead of meat\n Nobody said this would be funhttps://trib.al/Di8F7uF

The Bloomberg Opinion inflation advice was lampooned on Twitter.

Radio host Tara Servatius: "Elites to those making less than 300k: you'll own nothing, you won't even be able to afford meat or a pet, and you'll shut up and be happy."

Former Trump lawyer Jenna Ellis: "How to deal, you peasants."

Political scientist: Seth Masket: "Inflation stings most if you’re in the bottom 99% of earners."

Rapper Zuby: "They forgot the most important one... 'Stop being poor.'"

Communications director Evan Serpick: "This is a real thing that a real news outlet just tweeted."

Ohio Sen. Michael Rulli: "Turn off the money printer."

Congressional candidate Wesley Hunt: "Good news. According to Bloomberg, you can avoid all the disastrous policies of the Biden White House for just a mere $300k a year! Can you say, tone deaf?"

Former Democratic presidential candidate Marianne Williamson: "Eat cake!"

Author Gregg Favre: "Can only assume the draft title of this piece was 'Must suck to suck, losers.' Under $300k per year is roughly 98% of the population. 53% of Americans can’t pull a $1,000 from savings if an emergency happened."

Congressional candidate Robby Starbuck: "Basically the elite want normal people to 'own nothing and be happy' about it."

Canadian politician Pierre Poilievre: "Could this be more out of touch? Here's how to really fight #JustinFlation: Stop printing money. Make more stuff that money buys - gas, groceries, houses. Fire the politicians who don't get it."

Republican communicator Matt Whitlock: "An actual recommendation in this is to let your sick pet die. The Biden economy is rough."

Writer Doug Powers: "Be open to homelessness. Don’t get too attached to your pets because you might have to eat them. Keep repeating 'this isn’t Biden’s fault.'"

For America: "Take the bus and eat lentils. That’s how the media thinks we should deal with Bidenflation."
