When did it become common to insult female reporters with no backlash at all? [View all]

Just heard on MS NOW how he insulted yet another female reporter asking him a legit question. I don’t care who he is, he needs to be put in his place once and for all. I know this is too much to ask but he has to be confronted once in a while. The fact that the press corps walks it back just proves how far we have been degraded. In what world would this ever have been accepted?
