" story segment tonight a recent trend in marketing his people like Valerie bird -- Marie Osmond Kathy Ireland all showing off their new found bodies. Always ladies are mothers. And -- bird Nelly is perhaps most dramatic. But there has been criticism of her and other women who are marketing themselves this way. Teresa from Los Angeles Fox News analyst Tammy Bruce and from San Francisco the purveyor of the no nonsense man dot com no nonsense man dot com mark Rudolph. That's -- like this trend at all. So what's -- matter what mothers. Mr. Rudolph taking pride in their bodies and you know demonstrating their weight loss -- their fitness or whatever."
" I don't have a problem -- I just have a problem with us indulging them. I mean it's ridiculous a couple of weeks ago foxnews.com. Had -- hot bikini moms on there with Denise Richards and Brooke Burke. Why do we care about this this -- if if divorced fathers would behave like this. They would never ever get custody of their children to let me know it's almost as if let me just volumes and you're asking me don't want a -- men care about good looking women. Because -- I'm not is that what you're asking me here no that's not. -- women can run around naked -- the first lawlessness as far as I completely concern I don't care what why are we making it a story all the time every time a mother wants to lose weight she have to get a spread on a magazine church -- that the space something isn't it our role model -- little story about who is -- you know encouraging other women to drop the -- live healthier lives is not what it's all about. But what do they just do that naturally if you know -- thing. It's almost -- every one of these women is carrying and estrogen coin with an. The next day she flips it that she's empowered. Whatever she says. And -- men have to just -- they think they have to go along with it. But every one of these men who goes along with it is just Neville Chamberlain appeasing her -- what -- you -- that Clemens."
" It's a fascinating argument I I have to say I don't think it's mid made perhaps for a couple of millennia. But the truth of the matter is not quite where where where where living and out at it is an image based society will look -- we're all on television right now week. We've got make up on far we came on the truth of the matter is there's a big difference between. What -- labor Nellie is doing are you a young woman who struggled with -- all her life to inspire other women which is inspiring. -- the use of a woman to be used as an object is next -- track. I mean this is about context and intent I think most people understand that and if we're gonna be in an image based society. I would prefer to see and -- by the way of course as we would all acknowledged the problem is not the woman's body. It is the context and who is using it and I think it's incredibly empowering for women to say you can get healthy look at what I've done. And."
" Inspire them yeah there is -- Cesar mr. -- point out -- a bit of exploitation. To this. Not by perhaps -- bird -- any other women although she's getting paid handsomely. But by media. That takes this and throws it up there and you know. This is what troubles me the most about it. Because adults I don't care about what you would teenage girls they think that they got to look like god Jennifer Aniston is still -- themselves. This image is present."
" Where I disagree really actually not very -- images actually can't that the bird -- image counteract that she as a real woman's body this is not Kate Moss situation at all or call -- will refer back to the Olympics. I've seen Michael Phelps on quite a few of mad magazine covers and on television with a Speedo on that's the size of a rubber band. So there's a lot of men out there doing a lot of stuff exposing themselves and look. The human body is beautiful remember its context and I think that we -- of a decent point of view we can tell the good."
" I give -- the last word god help me I had more. I really don't know I don't agree with your last point bill because women are always complaining that -- them there object define themselves there's a section on foxnews.com. Four you know pop tarts and look what happens they're always getting a pass. And we -- legislation coming out of congress right now that's gonna allow women allegedly. To blame men for. While causing emotional distress they'll get a point employment for life it's called the safe act HR 739. It's the same thing. If woman says it's exploitation that's exploitation if she says -- empowerment it's empowerment it's ridiculous. Why are we paying attention to that five well -- may break your letter goes way all right."
" It's human nature to pay attention. To. Weight loss and that's what do you think that's just human nature are good there is very good today it's that he didn't attack -- on -- I'll let -- be the idiot okay because that comes naturally to me."
