Jesse Watters gave a litany of reasons why women shouldn\u2019t lead before denying he agreed. But peddling these ideas normalizes them<\/p>\n
Oh dear, it looks like Jesse Watters\u2019 mother needs to give him a good talking to again. The Fox News host regularly spouts so much deliberately provocative nonsense that his mum, a liberal, has called into his show to ask him to use his voice \u201cresponsibly<\/a>\u201d. Instead of listening to her, however, he\u2019s told his audience of millions that men shouldn\u2019t eat soup<\/a> in public because it\u2019s effeminate, shared his creepy fantasies about Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez\u2019s sex life<\/a>, and urged America to bomb or \u201cmaybe gas<\/a>\u201d the United Nations headquarters. This week, as Donald Trump (a man) presides over a disastrous, immoral, and unpopular war, Watters has been busy informing the world that women just aren\u2019t cut out to be president.<\/p>\n What prompted this latest rant? The usual pathological desire to be noticed, I presume. And also a recent MS NOW interview<\/a> with Nancy Pelosi, in which the former speaker of the House, 86, said a female US president is inevitable, but likely won\u2019t happen in her lifetime.<\/p>\n Arwa Mahdawi is a Guardian columnist<\/p>\n The assault on freedom with Mehdi Hasan and Arwa Mahdawi<\/a> Continue reading…<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Jesse Watters gave a litany of reasons why women shouldn\u2019t lead before denying he agreed.
