Fox News host Tucker Carlson announced a 'male empowerment' series that will air on his show every Wednesday throughout March - which just so happens to be Women's History Month. 

During his program on Tuesday night, the political pundit teased the feature and explained it will focus on the 'crisis' facing American men.

'We hear a lot about female empowerment in this country,' Carlson said. 

'But for some reason you almost never hear about how men are doing in America.'

Tucker Carlson announced a 'male empowerment' series that will air on his show every Wednesday throughout March - which just so happens to be Women's History Month

During his show on Tuesday night, the Fox News political pundit teased the feature and explained it will focus on the 'crisis' facing American men

Carlson took a moment to note he wasn't against female empowerment, but feels everyone should be empowered - before warning his audience that the situation for men in America is grim. 

'We took a close look at the numbers and we found them so shocking that we're devoting the month of March to a special series on men in America,' he explained. 

'You'll be stunned by the scope of the crisis. We were. It's a largely ignored disaster. It affects every person in America.' 

Carlson wouldn't give details about how exactly what the crisis is, or how it would qualify as a disaster in a country where seven in 10 of the top senior executives in America are men.

The show will air each Wednesday as a new segment.

The first segment will air on Wednesday night, the eve of International Women's Day, as Carlson welcomes the controversial Canadian psychology professor Jordan Peterson (pictured)

He also didn't explicitly say that he was running this segment during Women's History Month, but the point can't have gone amiss on the top-rated primetime pundit.

Women's History Month is designed to commemorate and celebrate the role of women in American History, but Carlson is instead using it as an opportunity to talk about how men are being overlooked.

He didn't explicitly state what he and Peterson will be speaking about, but the psychologist is known for his critique of political correctness - more specifically feminism and the notion of white privilege.  

'So during Woman's History Month @TuckerCarlson has a show about men,' Twitter user Tom Greisch wrote, pointing out the irony of hosting such a series during the one month of the year designed to commemorate and celebrate the role of women in American History

'It's women's history month so naturally tucker carlson has a series on men,' Twitter user John Whitehouse commented, pointing out the Fox host's affinity for bringing up controversial topics during his segments

Carlson's announcement raised predictably negative reactions about the new segment on Twitter - with most pointing out the irony of hosting such as series during Women's History Month. 

'So during Woman's History Month @TuckerCarlson has a show about men,' Twitter user  Tom Greisch wrote. 

'Dude looks like he just saw Stormy Daniels #TrumpLiesMatter #FoxNews,' he continued, making a joke about Carlson's signature look of concern.
