Female Anchor Walks off Set After Co-Host's Sexist Joke.

Thursday morning, Steve Doocy interviewed members of the U.S. Navy Band about the band’s recent inclusion of women. Reacting to the segment, Brian Kilmeade remarked, “Women are everywhere. We’re letting them play golf and tennis now. It’s out of control.” Visibly upset, Gretchen Carlson, the

I am predicting that the "official" response will make some kind of comment about how women are "too emotional" or "overly sensitive".

Ooo, Ooo! Or maybe "sorry if you got offended".

[seamouse]

it's amazing how common that mess is. 'if you got offended' = 'you're wrong to feel that way'
Why the hell can't people just say, "I'm sorry that I offended you." Even while that doesn't cover demonstrating understanding of what one did wrong and why it was wrong, at least it would show acceptance of having actually done something wrong instead of foisting it on the victim

All the heaping sexism, and a joke about her needing a shower? Fan-fuckin'-tastic!

[jwaneeta]

Me too. Quite a lot, these days.

Wow, that was a poorly constructed couple of sentences.

Men on Fox News, all douche, all the time. According to his wiki page, he's also racist and a huge Islamophobe/bigot.

[browneyedguuurl]

Shocker!

[layweed]

I bet they have required fields on Fox News job application asking whether they're huge right-wing, misogynistic douchebags.
