TYT: Fox News Panel Stares At Women In Leggings



In an attempt to shame women who wear leggings in public, Fox News paraded women in leggings and had a panel of men judge them. This is not made up. It actually happens. Cenk Uygur, John Iadarola (Think Tank), Brett Erlich (Pop Trigger) hosts of The Young Turks discuss.

Is this the most sexist/hypocritical thing Fox News has ever done? Let us know in the comments below.

“Tuesday morning was a fun one for Fox News guests Andrew Sansone, Arthur Aidala, and Willie Robertson: the trio was impaneled to judge three women who appeared on Fox & Friends dressed in leggings or yoga pants.

The segment, framed as focusing on a father’s perspective of the topic, went about as horribly as one might expect. Host Steve Doocy’s leadoff question really set the tone: “Willie, are you comfortable with the women in your life parading around in leggings?” When a third model walked out wearing leggings and a tank top, Aidala told Doocy that they had “all taken our nitroglycerin pills before we came to the set.” So fragile is the constitution of a Fox News man: the sight of a woman in athletic attire can cause him to suffer heart attacks.”

appropriate to ask if it's appropriate for women to show up in exercise attire when business attire is considered normal.

Would a male employee be allowed to do an interview in a baseball uniform or running shorts?

but the truth is I wasn't paying that much attention, and couldn't listen to too much of it anyway.
