Women on Twitter Are Not Laughing at Kevin Hart's 'SNL' Monologue

BY Sarah MurphyPublished Dec 18, 2017

Kevin Hart hosted Saturday Night Live's mediocre Christmas episode this weekend (December 16), but the comedian didn't win over women with his tone-deaf opening monologue.
 
In the segment, Hart complained about how hard it was to be a dad. But in addition to whining about the difficulties of having to be the "fun" parent, he explicitly stated that it was a mother's responsibility to structure a child's life by feeding them, bathing them and dropping them off and picking them up at school.
 
He stuffed his foot further into his mouth by saying: "I applaud you for that, but the one thing you're not is fun."
 
He then predicted and mocked women's reaction to the claim. But he didn't stop there!

"You never heard a kid say, 'I can't wait to get home and play with mom,'" he continued. "'I can't wait for mommy and me time.' That don't exist. No kids say that. All of the fun responsibility lies on the shoulder of the father. It does."
 
As if Hart's ancient ideas about gender roles weren't off-putting enough, he then went on a rant about how exhausting it is to have to be the fun parent.
 
Worst of all, Hart apparently has plenty more where that came from, and he'll be taking it on tour.
Most women (and hopefully men) watching the segment probably shared a look that involved a dropped jaw and raised eyebrows, and many of them took to Twitter to voice their discontent with the sexist monologue.
