Quote:That’s because Fox News and its ideology of misogyny are the theory. Bill O’Reilly — and Ailes, and avowed Fox News fan Trump, and all the sexual harassment complaints and suits that have been brought against them — are the practice.How Bill O'Reilly's sexual harassment problem fits Fox News's ideology - Vox
Fox News consistently sends the message that women exist to serve men
Fox News is a company at which female employees were encouraged, during Ailes’s tenure, “to wear your skirts short and your heels high,” and to avoid wearing pants at all, allegedly so that Ailes could ogle their legs more efficiently. (Ailes is said to have once yelled, “Tell Catherine [Crier, a former Fox News host] I did not spend x-number of dollars on a glass desk for her to wear pant suits.”)
Fox News is the network that in 2013 hosted an all-male panel to debate the question of whether it was okay for women to be a family’s primary breadwinner. Their conclusion: No, it was not okay, because men have to have control over women; that’s just science. “When you look at biology, look at the natural world, the rules of a male and a female in society and other animals, the male typically is the dominant role. The female is not competing,” said Erick Erickson, incorrectly.
Fox News is the network that in 2014 endorsed calling “date rape” “mistake sex.” It’s the network that has joked about how female soldiers are “boobs on the ground.” It’s the network that says women are paid less because they’re worth less in the workplace.
