How did she respond?
How do women basically always have to respond in this circumstance? She "blushed", which they commented on, and was gracious and waved it off. I was ready to cockpunch someone though.
Especially after Shani Hilton's post yesterday on TNC's blog: [link]

That would have been a perfect time for her to say, "Wow, that was really rude. You must be so embarrassed," to the men. Of course, to make that work, you pretty much have to be ready for shitty things to be said, so you are practiced and ready to peal that off in a completely sympathetic, non-sarcastic, way. And of course, teh menz tend not to have the kind of shame that that works on, because after all, it is their Divine Right to comment on public properties such as a woman's face and body.
And it is that kind of shit that makes me realize that the Muslim women who wear the complete covering are kind of on to something when they say it frees them from being objectified.
I'd like to have the presence of mind to say, "Wow, did you guys just get fired, and so you're filling broadcast time with stupid stuff?"
"Sorry I can't say the same about any of you."
brenda, I believe we need a link to the station so we can tell them what we think.
My commute by metro this morning wasn't a problem, but I think there are a lot of people without power from the lack of email.
It just seems so unprofessional and uncomfortable.
FML means fuck my life, right? Or something like that? It's negative slang, right?
signed, my facebook friends list just keeps getting younger and younger.

Thanks for suggesting that - I just sent them an email.
