On FOX "News" recently, some bantering broke out during which a male co-anchor started ridiculing the wearing of pantsuits, in an obvious attempt to ridicule Hillary Clinton.
A young female co-anchor then said, "Here at FOX we like to be feminine, so we don't wear the pants."
>> Watch the video.
Note that she did not say, "We don't wear pants." She said "We don't wear the pants."
Of course, "wearing the pants" is a figure of speech that refers to being in control, being in charge, being strong, and running things.
Apparently this FOX "news anchor" doesn't believe that a woman can be feminine and still be in charge.
Her remark suggests that she believes women should be subservient to men.
And apparently she wants to be considered an ornament rather than a serious career woman.
That is her prerogative. But what kind of message is she sending to young girls?
