In the video we watched in class about representation of women in media, much of its time was devoted to women in politics and news reporting. At one point there was a montage men in news broadcasting saying ridiculously sexist things, and let me tell you... my rage was real. Like my pulse was elevated and I had to just clamp my jaw shut to keep myself from yelling at the screen.
So along those lines, here's another gem from one of my favorite sexists, Bill O'Reilly.

And the worst part is that this is not an unusual conversation for this guy and so many like him. My father, who has four daughters, watches and listens to Fox News regularly. I just don't understand how people can hear stuff like this and still take his opinions seriously. But this is the sort of thing that we are constantly bombarded with, although most of the time it's more subtle. It's no wonder our expectations and attitudes toward women in this society are messed up.
