This is a strong condemnation of Fox News and the sexism it espouses on a
day to day basis. At a time when women’s rights are being viciously
attacked by the right-wing and it’s propaganda machine, this incident of
sexism was enough to draw a sharp rebuke from military veterans, a
group that conservatives constantly claim to have undying love and
support for. If sexism were to be condemned on this level all the time,
perhaps it would cease coming from the mouths of all Fox hosts and may
even cause Republican lawmakers to think carefully before commenting on
women’s issues. Mariam Al Mansouri, like American women who serve in
every branch of the US military, risked her life for her country. She’s a
hero, and she should be treated like one. Fox not only insulted her,
they insulted every woman in history who has ever put on a uniform in
defense of this country and others around the globe. Fox should be
ashamed of their juvenile behavior and we should all be proud of the men
and women who serve our nation and of those veterans who stood up to
Fox on behalf of women everywhere.
