Fox Host Blasts Misogynist CEO: ‘Completely Backwards’ To Say God Doesn’t Want Female President
Even a stopped clock is right twice a day. That seems to be what has happened over at Fox News. Host Anna Kooiman was
completely furious-and rightly so- at the female CEO who says God never intended for women to be president because of hormones.
There was a
viral Facebook post from the female Texas Marketing CEO of Go Ape Cheryl Rios, where she blasted Hillary Clinton’s presidential ambitions, saying that God had different and distinct roles for men and women. She used the same argument men have used in the past to keep women in a second-class citizen position, saying:
“With the hormones we have there is no way we should be able to start a war.”
Of course, this is absolutely ridiculous. Women have long been holding positions of power, hormones be damned. Hell, Cheryl Rios herself is a Marketing CEO. Are there certain times of the month when she refuses to make decisions for her company because of her hormones? Somehow I think not. She’d find the very suggestion insulting and offensive, as well she should. So, her comments regarding female presidents are nothing short of hypocrisy on her part.
Well, Fox Host Anna Kooiman feels the same way, and she said so on Sunday’s edition of
Fox and Friends. First Kooiman gave Rios the benefit of the doubt, saying Rios should be able to defend herself since she had been “cyber-bullied to death.” Kooiman’s co-host Tucker Carlson started off the conversation, saying:
“I guess no one can call you sexist, which it must be nice. But you go on to make the point that it’s really the use of force that makes you uncomfortable in the hands of a woman. The one thing I think I would agree with, we assume women are more peace-loving, and I don’t think that’s necessarily true.”
Tucker is right, of course. It is a sexist assumption to assume that
anything applies to all women. Rios went on to double down on her controversial remarks:
“We’re built completely different. The word hormone gets thrown around quite a bit, but I just believe in an old-fashioned way of things where the man is the head of the household, the man is the head of the free world, the country. And women take more of a subordinate role behind him.”
So, in other words, despite being a woman, Cheryl Rios is completely sexist against her own sex. She has bought the lies told by the patriarchy hook, line, and sinker. Well, after that comment, Anna Kooiman had enough, called the remarks “completely backwards” and she let Rios have it:
“That’s like telling a women, ‘You know, you can teach preschool, you can lead the choir, but you can’t be a pastor.’ That’s like saying, ‘You can be in the military, but you can’t be in a combat position, you can’t be in an elite combat position.’ You’re a CEO yourself, you’re a strong woman! What on Earth would make you think you can do this high-stress job, but not that one because of hormones?”
Rios became visibly agitated at Kooiman’s reasonable responses, but stuck to her position:
“God made us different! God made us completely different! e made men and women different and we have different roles. Just because I run a company doesn’t mean you have to agree with my opinion. We have different opinions and that’s what makes this world great.”
Tucker Carlson went on to gently mock Rios:
“Well, I’m not saying I agree with you — I obviously would never do that. But I admire you’re willingness to say unpopular things in this age of conformity. You are a brave woman, regardless of whether you’re right or not.”
Never thought I’d say this, but, good job, Anna and Tucker. This Cheryl Rios lady needs to go back to the 1850’s, apparently, where her views would be more welcome. Oh, but then, she wouldn’t be able to be a CEO, would she? She better be glad so few people, even other conservatives, don’t agree with her misogyny.
