Woman cradles and protects child. Man carries and protects both. This is how it ought to be, despite what your gender studies professor says pic.twitter.com/oX85v67FaY

“Woman cradles and protects child. Man carries and protects both. This is how it ought to be, despite what your gender studies professor says,” he wrote in his tweet.
The decent people on Twitter were not here for this kind of sexist bullshit.
Can we not just appreciate a kind gesture from a gentleman WITHOUT making it a gender issue?

Oh so let's say a man is hurt, should I not protect him and carry him to safety because that's not how it "ought" to be?

The tweet on gender roles also spawned a pretty hilarious meme.

But the best response was from Christina Wolbrecht, a gender studies professor at the University of Notre Dame. She absolutely destroyed Walsh in an epic Twitter thread.
I was going to stick w sarcasm but as an actual gender studies prof, there's just so much to unpack here, I can't help myself. THREAD! 1/ https://t.co/et7L7oClqe
