Fox News host and Daily Caller co-founder Tucker Carlson claimed on the Oct. 13 episode of “Vince and Jason Save the Nation” that feminism is a “lie” that oppresses and hurts both men and women.

“Feminism is, at its core, corporate propaganda which is pushed by big business in order to lower the value of labor, in order to make the system as convenient and efficient as possible.
