“Men are depressed and it’s their own fault because men are allowing women to take over the world.” - Marc Rudov, Talk Radio Host
Imagine replacing “men” and “women” with different racial groups and having that quote air on TV. I wonder how that would fly.
Is sexism the last publicly acceptable form of discrimination?
This video has me seriously thinking the answer is yes.
It’s sad then even women are dishing out the sexist remarks. There’s no other group in the world that gets points for partaking in their own marginalization.

That’s just how it is these days. People don’t even notice it.

This video again reminds me how even the most powerful women in Congress are sexually harassed, and done so in public open media. Every sexual comment made by each man are ALL forms of sexual harassment, that laws in corporations are supposed to be sued for. How is this still acceptable in our society today?
Strong women in any position of power should keep moving forward and totally ignore the comments. All women need to stay strong together this way.

Why is it okay for the media to ramble sexual harassment remarks to a Senator like this? That is all this is about. It has nothing to do with Hillary Clinton at all. It is nothing but constant sexual harassment remarks targeted at her simply because she is a female. They never make any remarks like those to men who run for office.
I think Hillary Clinton should run for president in four years again. Why not? Meanwhile reinforce everything she said in her campaigns to set the stage for her future presidency campaign. That is the best way to also shut those remarks up.

Because the Senator is a woman and that means she should take it in stride. I mean come on, stop being so uptight it’s just a joke.
/end sarcasm.

You are right, if it was about a racial group then all kinds of hell would break loose.

I live in spain and like 30 years ago Tv was pretty much like a host( usually a man with a moustache ) with a girl on each side: “Good evening Ladies and Gentleman, here we are at [place] and it’s [time], and here with me, there are 2 beauty bimbos.”
Nowadays the equality thing means changing one of the beauty ladies for a handsome musculated guy in shorts. That’s a funny concept of equality.
Anyway, if any serious reporter or host would say something like Marc Rudov’s quote, he would be inmediately banned from Tv, luckily.
