Ok, this won’t be a news flash to many but let me just say it, Stephen Baldwin is a putz.
I say this not because he’s the untalented brother in a largely untalented family, or that he’s gotten paid a ridiculous amount of money to make some ridiculously bad movies (“The Flinstones in Viva Las Vegas” anyone?)
No, the latest reason Stephen Baldwin’s a putz is because he went on British TV last week and owned up to being a no-show dad. In an interview on the Brit show “Loose Women,” (insert guy-humor here), Baldwin said his DNA, upbringing and apparently brisk career makes him a hands-off dad.
“No (I’m not hands-on). I don’t care if this just sounds obvious — women are smarter than men. They have more wisdom, they have more patience. Men are beasts and women are beast-lovers, isn’t that something, how that works?”
Charming.
Well, Stephen, you’re right, for the most part. Women are smarter than men, they do have more wisdom and more patience. Men might be beasts. But beasts can still be good dads, ya putz.
Beasts can change diapers, beasts can read, beasts can play rough with their boys and clap loudly at their girl’s ballet recitals. In other words, beasts can still be smart. Beasts don’t go on national television – even if it’s in England – and boast about being a bad father.
That is all.
Very disappointing, Mr. Baldwin. I'm one of those rare souls, apparently, that likes this guy and am bummed out by this.
