This is really not OK. I feel a lot of sympathy for women who go on the air stevenleser Oct 2017 #73

Do male journalists go on air wearing tank tops or tshirts? procon Oct 2017 #82

You need to have that red herring you just raised pickled stevenleser Oct 2017 #84

Your assertion is not supported by the facts. procon Oct 2017 #86

Here are how highly regarded men and women dress at the same serious televised event muriel_volestrangler Oct 2017 #168

As a private citizen, she can dress anyway she likes, yeah? Adding an eye roll here.🙄 nt procon Oct 2017 #169

Yes, Ruhle is a private citizen. Has it taken you that long to figure that out? muriel_volestrangler Oct 2017 #170

I see what you did there. Here's the thing that you're trying to sidestep... lo these many days. procon Oct 2017 #171

It's notable that you have this ridiculous idea that a dress with bare shoulders is the equivalent muriel_volestrangler Oct 2017 #172

What, you ask? Why, because those who want to see career women procon Oct 2017 #173

The OP is the problem. It does NOT respect Ruhle for "intellect, experience and skills" muriel_volestrangler Oct 2017 #174

What a dodgy, ill thought response. procon Oct 2017 #93

So, any problems with Brooke Baldwoan, who regularly wears Pathwalker Oct 2017 #99

This thread was focused only on one MSNBC anchor, like the title says. procon Oct 2017 #100

This is why "imitating" the men is useful question everything Oct 2017 #109

I don't want to imitate a man in my attire...that is a sexist approach that harkens back to the 70's Demsrule86 Oct 2017 #161

Imitating the approach, not the attire question everything Oct 2017 #183

I just don't think it matters. I would prefer that we consider the content of the shows not the Demsrule86 Oct 2017 #185

I care about substance of the message, not style of how it is delivered. Wiseman32218 Oct 2017 #83

Ask the OP, because unless they start dressing like FOX's eye-candy, I could care less. Hekate Oct 2017 #139

Ah, so there CAN BE limits! Just yours, though, not the OP's? WinkyDink Oct 2017 #190
