Gavin McInnes co-founder of Vice and often described as “The Godfather of Hipsterdom,” says his three children -- ages 7 years, 5 years, and 9 months -- convinced him to affirm the existence of God and become pro-life.

“I was an atheist most of my life and now I am a God-fearing Catholic, because of the miracle of life. And I’m pro-life,” he said, noting that he used to be pro-choice and became pro-life with the birth of his first child.

McInnes also lamented media portrayals of fathers as “the idiot of the family.”

“If it gets a laugh, fine, but we all have to check ourselves and go: ‘How about some reverence, for a change?’ We revere single moms and we revere drug dealers like Jay Z -- how about we revere the people who put on food on the table?”

McInnes is taking the most flak, however, for agreeing (in somewhat earthy language) with a study from last year finding that despite 40 years of feminism, “women's happiness had fallen 'both absolutely and relatively to that of men'.”

“I see a lot of women without kids, in their 40s, who are miserable and I see a lot of women after they have children saying, ‘what the f---- was I doing? Why was I doing fashion PR? I was doing seating plans for a fashion show telling what people sit in what chair. Now I’m shaping human life,’” he explained.

“I see the housewife as a far superior vocation to mine, and to most,” McInnes continued. “I mean I make commercials, and funny videos, and T.V. shows or whatever, film projects that people will watch for ten minutes and go ‘heh’ and get on with their day. I essentially . . . make comic books. You flip through it and you’re done. My wife creates life from her vagina and then -- that’s just the beginning -- then she shapes this human life.”

McInnes explained how much more fulfilling his wife’s day -- making memories with their children -- than his, working on a cheese commercial.

“Who is changing the world more?” he asked.
