Originally posted by buckkyI dont't know what the Fox News girls look like but if you think they look like drag queens I wonder if this is not your fantasy. Excuse me but the drag queens I have seen (on stage and tranvestites) are noticeable different from real women. In their best outlook, one can always note at least one detail that will make the whole difference.
Has anyone ever noticed that the women on Fox News all look like drag queens ?
That said, I recently saw a documentary on Thailand lady boys and it is impressive how feminine they are. I understand how men fall in love with them.
Life is crazy. 🙂

The post that was quoted here has been removedThe further away from my career in corporate life, the more it seems like a sociology experiment, especially those days when women were first making their mark in the upper echelons of management at my employer. Our first female VP, I believe, was in charge of HR. A close fiend of mine succeeded in going from "Xerox girl" to head of a 250-employee chemical plant, getting her law degree and passing the bar along the way. At one point I reported to a woman who reported to a woman VP. Most of the women who did this did it without marriage (or after ending a marriage) or children. That aspect seems to have abated to some extent.
The women of Fox, at least the more ambitious ones, are dressing for success. Some or most of their choices are purposeful; choices they make because of the expectations in their environment.

These days, casting the scenario as a transaction between powerful male predator and favor-giving female prey may overlook some permutations.

The post that was quoted here has been removedBased on the number of Fox women at the link I posted, I'd say it is a slam dunk that Fox has lesbians on staff. Also with that many women, the Fox lawyers are probably nervous all the time.
We haven't spoken of harassment laws and how they work. Maybe another time, under a more fitting thread title.

Originally posted by JS357That word, "expectations"...I disagree that it's an expectation that women be sexy news anchors, or sexy in most professional fields. Again, look at Van Sustren (still can't spell it) who has no sex appeal at all. Same for the great Margaret Thatcher, Ellen Degeneres, and Hillary "pants suit" Clinton. True, sex sppeal gives one an advantage in any field, but that's for both men and women. And it still doesn't necessarily mean that it's required.

In my opinion, women thinking they have to be pretty to succeed, is no different from athletes who think they need steroids to suceed. It's the pressure of competition with others trying to get their spots, that makes it seem like their own merit isn't enough.

The post that was quoted here has been removedMargaret's appeal probably had nothing to do with her looks, but with her persona; a tough, no nonsense type, similar to a dominatrix.
And yes, attractiveness is emphasized much more with women; but I don't see it as a requirement for women in most fields, though it gives an advantage. Of course, this probably wasn't the case a generation ago.
