So....back when some NY Yankees players were on The View little Miss Innocent Meredith Vieira asked them "Who has the biggest bat?" on the team and she and the other women all had a good chuckle over that bit of sexual innuendo.... which is ok??...No care given to maybe it making the younger athletes being made to feel awkward by a woman (at least twice their age)??...Oh yeah.....I forgot, she's a woman so can sexually harass and make men uncomfortable. Double standard much???
Gee...What would happen if a male host asked of a female athlete , celeb, etc. "Who has the biggest boobs?" (nicest butt, who was the tightest, etc).
It is not ok to make the assumption that a subordinate will do that. These guys just go for it, and they are paying the price. As women become more powerful they best heed this.
Since the cat is out of the bag, it would be fine and dandy if men called women out on sexual harassment too.
Yeah ok, theoretically. In practice, any men who brings this claim will not be take seriously and will be laughed at. Sexual harassment is the woman's favorite complaint...

Some so called media moguls are harassing women based on clothes to get their political views through and making people look bad based on looks.
Feminist groups don't seem to care about these three ladies.
Savannah Guthrie is just as disgusting but for a different reason. She was in the same group of people, invited by Hillary and then started to bash Trump based on Savannah promise to support Billaty not just by giving lots of money but by bashing Trump for no decent reason!
Today show should remove her too and start with a new group. Al Roker should go too as it looked like they were all aware of Matt Lauers and his behavior. I'm not buying their fake looks while announcing that Matt was fired! Go fool someone else.
The hosts of the Today show didn't care a bit about the victims.
Someone needed to sit Ann down with a video operator to explain what not to wear, & why. It was not her job to know certain things by osmosis. She's a smart woman & would have understood if someone did their own job & explained why not to wear certain things. She was obviously uncomfortable with Matt & totally at ease with Al.

Agree 1000%. They really should wipe the slate clean.
So it seems Hillary does believe this was all retribution for Matt actually asking her tough questions.
When it came to sexism and the media, it was Weiner who brought up the elephant in the room, reading out a section of What Happened about the September 2016 Commander-in-Chief Forum on NBC, in which the host separately interviewed both candidates but was notably tougher on Clinton than Trump. That host? Matt Lauer.
“Every day I believe more in karma,” Clinton said to that, referring further to several “men who shaped the narrative” during the campaign who have since been sidelined in the wave of sexual harassment scandals.
And if she wasn't entirely innocent, why is Matt Lauer admitting to sexually inappropriate conduct?
Tell us what you know that we don't.
Lauer has said that some of the allegations are true. Which one(s)? And I want to know names.
Since the ONE allegation which resulted in his firing--the next day, others have come forward. There's also an allegation that one woman required medical attention after Lauer did his thing in his office. This is serious stuff that goes way beyond his history of philandering and marital infidelities.
Inquiring minds want to know.
