Last evening, the always in-touch Wendy Bell gifted us another insightful nugget on Twitter. This time, she dug deep into her Birkin bag of stereotypes, knocked aside some of the “racially charged” ones, and deftly presented us with her distorted June Cleaver perception of America:

Moms, weigh in here. Whether we work or stay at home, putting together the machinations of every night's dinner is one of the toughest parts of our day. Working dads don't think about what to feed the kids,… https://t.co/EBHrI4fQfa

The last thing we gents want to do after punching the clock at F. W. Woolworth corporate is to come home and think about feeding our children, let alone cook the actual meal. Isn’t it enough that we sometimes hug them? Pour me a tumbler of Evan Williams, put on Cronkite, and get yourself and those kids into the kitchen, I’ve gotta check my Standard Oil stock in the Pittsburgh Press.

What is this 1950? I cook my kids dinner the majority of nights. Moms should be able to take a break sometimes. Also, dinner doesn't have to be super complex and involve the word machination.

The objections from men who make dinner and women defending them came fast and furious.

I have to hand it to you, you know how to build a brand! I mean, sure, that brand is "tone-deaf privileged suburban white lady nonsense," but no one does it better than you and apparently @KDKARadio is willing to pay for it.

Wendy Bell is like an Eloi time traveler whose knowledge of current society is based on The Saturday Evening Post, the only reference material she could get her hands on before bending time and space to make her long journey.

Godspeed and safe travels to your next era, Wendy.

I heard her on the radio last month and she sounded very much like the 50’s housewife mentioned above. Totally opinionated but with all the wrong opinions. I see her in the same vein as Mike Pence.

And this from a woman who WORKS 2-6 PM!!!????? And her husband is a DOCTOR? I’m guessing the last time she got down on her hands and knees to do a floor was years ago!!! And as to making dinner. She’s got kids who are junior high age (and high school). They should be more than capable of reheating something she made the night before WHEN she got home from work!!!
