I don't mean to be harsh on men at all.

Why I think I was most offended was NOT b/c he is likely right that there are a lot of attractive women newscasters, but because it was EXACTLY THIS TYPE OF OGLING of them and his insensitive comments that ACTUALLY probably does make looks a characteristics in hiring. If you like the way she looks, fine. But by public gawking like he was doing he does nothing to help the situation. And to imply if she is beautiful that she must be less qualified drives me insane.

I'd love to live in a world where the beauty of our minds is more discussed that the size of our boobs or our great make-up jobs and plastic surgery.

And many men are exactly like that--my husband included. Those are the ones the smart women want to be with.
