My thought is it’s another fluff piece that pops up in order to reinforce the higher narrative of cultural dissolution, specifically how there’s a war on marriage and heterosexuals. Yeah you can have a lot of opinion pieces that distract from the monetary struggles that can make marriage/kids/picket fence unattainable, how things were “better” in the 50s for families without taking women’s rights into account, etc., but small pieces like this get seen enough and are put into peoples heads that they are suckered into a doom and gloom scenario where traditional family life is under attack from progressive politics. “Never saw any alphabet soup weirdos back in my day! Letting them have a voice is obviously the cause of why there are so few good women available to me now!” 


Not only that, but notice the photo - they are blonde, tanned, and fit. This is the height of beauty for many Fox viewers/readers as evidenced by their choice of female anchors. They’re being “stolen” and “corrupted” away from men. By living a life that is advertised as pretty much lesbian (but of course gay women don’t really have emotions with each other, they just hate men. If only the right guy would come and convert them), it’s suggesting anything that’s deviating from heteronormative behavior is an *attack* against men.

/rant. This kind of thing royally pisses me off. So many people see it as innocuous but it’s supporting a much more dangerous narrative.
