Good grief, folks! Are we conservatives here or a bunch of uptight feminists? As a woman, I have never taken a COMPLIMENT to somehow mean that I’m less intelligent or intellectually able. Lighten up!

That misses the point, IMO.

These women may be able to hold up their end of a conversation and they all have university degrees. They are hired for their looks. Many, if not most have had to upgrade their looks to the acceptable level of current definitions of beauty (veneers, extensions, facial fillers, etc). They all dress as though going to a cocktail party or out on the town, with plunging necklines and 4-inch heels even at 7 am. The camera operators seem to have instructions to use the camera to leer at their cleavage and legs. The presence of these particular examples of our gender is simply to dress the set. It is a plus if they are also accomplished.

In contrast, the women on GBTV dress appropriately, are attractive without being cosmetically amplified and some on the Real News are actually not ever going to be mistaken for high-priced escorts.

You know there are entire threads on FR where people chime in w/”guilty/not guilty” or “I’d hit it”, based simply on the pic of some female in the news. It started out innocently and became a collection of catch phrases. Basically, it is just a way of electronically leering at some women who ended up with their pic online.

There is a certain cheesy grin men get when speaking with a woman that is not necessarily a compliment. It may be gratifying to our egos, but it is simply an outward manifestation of their arousal level. As such, it can become tiresome. It is much more about them than it is about the female in question.

YMMV.
