Newsweek: Laid-off men are lazy wife-beating slobs

Article here. I think the writer omits a few cliches and negative stereotypes about men, but not many. Of course, there's hope here to--if a writer this bad can keep a job, anyone can.

Excerpt:

"Let's start with the myth of the new diaper daddies. The American Time Use Survey shows that in fact laid-off men tend to do less—not more—housework, eating up their extra hours snacking, sleeping and channel surfing (which might be why the Cartoon Network, whose audience has grown by 10 percent during the downturn, is now running more ads for refrigerator repair school). Unemployed women, in contrast, spend twice as much time taking care of children and doing chores. Nor do former working stiffs necessarily reconnect with their families: following alcoholics and drug addicts, they're the most likely demographic to beat their female partners."
