They can't expect media to NOT be sexist when viewers are sexist. If people can't watch a woman deliver the news, then guess what - they won't hire one.
This is why liberals are now becoming super insistent on women in roles where they haven't been. It's basically the same thing that's been happening but in reverse. I don't think any of it is fair but it is consistent.
Next, there will soon be emancipation for ugly people. Just watch.
