Okay, there is nothing I hate more than the rape victim who is first, and immediately told, "Well, if you hadn't worm
that dress...", or, "If you hadn't gone to that party...", or "If you hadn't had that last beer..." Let's get that out of the way, right here.
That being said, I came across this this morning:
This supercut of Gretchen Carlson being sexually harassed by her Fox News co-hosts will break your heart
Now, I need my "Libtard" friends to help me out here, because I must be just a horrible person. The entire time I was reading her story, and even watching the video - some of the comments really were offensive - I couldn't help thinking, "But, ya know...she
chose to work for the network that pushes the agenda that objectifies women, pushes the anti-choice agenda, and promotes the objectification of women.
Now, I know that there are going to be a bunch of conservatives whjo will insist that FOX does no such thing. To them I say, "Piss off,"
So, here is where I need help. How am I supposed to feel a great deal of sympathy for a woman who was bojectified at work, when she
chose to work for the very network that endorses just such attitudes?
Unwanted sexual harassment from men has been a decades old problem.
There's not a woman alive that hasn't experienced it. If it's not about sex, then you're too dumb to comment on something.
As Carly Fiorina stated women have to work 3 times as hard as a man to get anywhere, and she too talked of this attitude, and she praised Hillary Clinton, "stating I know what she's been through."
Frankly, Madeleine Albright was right. Any woman, (and I don't care what side of the isle she's on)-- that doesn't support another woman deserves a special place in hell.
I couldn't imagine what she went through back in the day.
This exemplifies the main reason the GOP put up 16 candidates this year. 15 of them male. It was a raining men platform that collapsed. It's why they continually attack Hillary Clinton-over Benghazi & emails (that have now turned into dust.) If Hillary Clinton was a Henry Clinton, they wouldn't have been so vicious in their attacks.
It's not that they fear Hillary Clinton so much but what they FEAR most is the 1st Woman President of the United States.
They just won't admit it.
So YES, gender bias & sexual harassment is still alive and well in this country.
And I disagree with absolutely nothing you've said. My only point, from my opening post, has been, the lady
willingly went to work for Misogynist Inc. And we're not talking she worked there in the "early days" before they had had a chance to brand themselves. No, no. She went to work there in
2005, when it was well known to
everyone that it was Misogynist Inc, and they were damn proud of their brand, and the agenda they pushed.
Now, I know Dana has tried to mitigate Gretchen's willingness to join a harem, and then be surprised that she's treated like part of a harem, suggesting she was desperate for the money, blah, blah, blah. But, I'm sorry. That's bullshit. she was Miss Fucking America, for fuck's sake! She could have landed a job anywhere she wanted! She went to work for FOX, because she
agreed with their politics, and their agenda.
Well, guess what? As I have been saying all along. When you
willingly, and knowingly go to work for Misogynist Inc, then you should expect them to be...well...misogynists. I think the real irony here is that she is suing FOX for treating her
exactly the way that she and all of the other talking heads have spent years insisting that FOX
doesn't treat women.
