Or this:

In a 1997 column for the National Review, Moore celebrated the elimination of the Women's Educational Equity Act, which he called “vile.” The program, which introduced protections for women in education against gender discrimination and promoted gender equality in education, appears to have been restored a year after funding lapsed in an amendment. It passed the House again in 1999.

Or this:

“It’s not a good thing that black women are making more than black men today. In fact, the male needs to be the breadwinner of the family, and one of the reasons I think you've seen the decline of the family, not just in the black community, but also it's happening now in the white community as well, is because women are more economically self-sufficient,” he said. “So, I would like to see an increase in black earnings because black men have not closed the gap as much as black women have.”

Those columns were surfaced by CNN‘s KFile, and while Moore has yet to comment on them specifically, when confronted by a library of other gross things he’s said about women and gender equality, has claimed that the writings were meant as “spoof[s]” and that he hasn’t held such view for many years. Which, unfortunately, is not an argument he’ll be able to make about comments he made on CNBC checks calendar today.

Appearing on Squawk Box, Moore asserted that “The biggest problem . . . in the economy over the last 25 years is what has happened to male earnings—for black males and white males as well. They’ve been declining and that is, I think, a big problem.” But what about, say women, who still earn significantly less than their male counterparts for the same work? “Look I want everybody’s wages to rise,” Moore said, “But you know, people are talking about women’s earnings—they’ve risen. The problem, actually, has been the steady decline in male earnings, and I think we should pay attention to that because I think that has very negative consequences for the economy and for society.” While data from the Department of Labor shows median earnings for women have increased at a faster pace for women than men over the last 25 years, that might have something to do with the fact that they were so low in the first place. Also, per CNN, “wages have gone up for both those groups over that time frame.” But according to Moore, the ladies should just be happy with what they’ve got.
