Gretchen Carlson walked off the set of 'Fox and Friends' today after her co-cost Brian Kilmeade made a sexist comment. Having just watched a segment on the U.S. Navy Sea Chanters presented by third host Steve Doocy, he ended by informing the audience that the group was all-male until 1980. Amused by that fact, Kilmeade joked, 'Women are everywhere. We're letting them play golf and tennis now. It's out of control.'

Gretchen should do what I have always done. Consider the source, and leave it at that. Brian thinks he’s being funny. I was neither amused nor offended...but to walk off the set, really?
In the words of Gene Wilder in Young Frankenstein, "Don't you know a joke when you hear one!? Ha! Ha! Ha!"
This was friendly banter
Some lefty news idiot took a simple boy/girl joke and made something out of it that it was not
This moral outrage over the slightest supposed insult has gone overboard. You can’t say a damn thing anymore without offending some overly sensitive jackass or bringing a group of 9 to 5 perpetual protesters out of the woodwork. I suppose we can thank political correctness for the emasculated culture that we live in today.
We had it perfect when we instructed our children to, Treat Others as You Would Like to be Treated. However, being a Christian teaching, we can’t have that now can we—especially in schools.
We are a doomed society.

Her response was also done "in jest"... she was smiling, and laughing the entire time.
This is, a non-story.
As much as I love FoxNews, I personally CANNOT STAND Fox & Friends... they are all a bunch of ass-clowns, in my opinion. They do NOTHING to help the conservative agenda.
After watching the clip, It’s pretty clear they were both goofing around.

Someone was PMSing.
I understand that, like most of them, this is her primary skill and purpose in life.
Gretchen. Take a midol.. Stuff your face with chocolate.... and remember....And get over it... It was a joke.
Yep.
Gretchen - Get over yourself! Good grief, Feminazies are everywhere.
Bush's Fault?
Beauty queens have no sense of humor.

The more I think about it, the more I think Brain is right. If more women were at home raising good kids and not playing tennis or golf, America might be a better place! (:
Exactly. Obviously humorous, but I guess Gretchen was high srung for some reason. How many men have ever walked off a set due to derogatory comments by women about the male sex? Probably none. That’s because men are expected to be good sports and take it.
Ah, that’s good to know. I was already at work and didn’t see the actual segment.
——Please adopt a sense of humor and get off the political correctness kick-——
No kidding. I think Gretchen is a little light between the ears.
