I think it's more about this:
"Stop disrespecting me in front of my face"
"I'm going to disrespect you in front of your face, freedom of speech"
That's the tug of war.

The idea a woman is being disrespected because a guy says he likes boobs is kind of silly.
If he had said to the host specifically she had good tits, I think everyone would say that's out of line. His statement is broad, accurate (men like tits) and pretty harmless.
Or maybe both are out of line.
I... honestly.... no....... I......
I'm assuming he's being knowingly facetious.
I'm sure some American hosts would do that too. Some are just better at thinking quickly. This host got shook and didn't do what to do which is why this is a bigger deal than it should be. A better host would have difused his attempt to be shocking much better.
Cool story.
Great way to dictate how a person should feel after being undermined during a discussion about a serious issue.

What's hilarious to me is even after they moved to the next guest, she went back to the boob comment to harp on it some more and forced him to repeat it again... haha. CNN is such a shit show.
some of you have a grotesque lack of social awareness befitting 19 year olds in a frat house.
"haha tits are great amirite"
nobody cares that you like boobs. It's not even that you can't joke about you liking boobs. But the context of which you bring up you liking boobs make you look like a dork.

Damn right!
Yeah, basically. If I heard that randomly dropped during a serious conversation I'd just scratch my head. 'Uhh... Thanks?'
Wasn't she the one who literally cried on air when someone (who was actually quoting someone else) dropped the n-word?
She comes off as kind of childish to me, actually.
Does anyone actually view the forum in question as more than a ratings obsessed entertainment cable "news" segment? The comment is ludicrous and that's exactly what the producers wanted when they booked him on the show. They knew exactly what they were getting and it apparently worked.

Gaf has been a weird place lately. So many weird posts. So many people getting banned.
And some posts in this thread... are weird too. What the heck.
OT: why would anyone say something like that? What?

I'm a man! I will to assert my power! Look how alpha I am! I'm the best! I'm white too! I have a lot of opinions! My opinions matter because I'm smart! You can tell how smart I am because I speak confidently, unlike those nerdy beta scientist types!
LOOK AT ME I'M A MAN!

i mean i like boobs.
inappropriate place to say it but i don't he should get roasted on that comment alone.
censoring everybody's thoughts are how we ended up with the MAGA bullshit rhetoric.
triggering. triggering everywhere.

Nobody's censoring anything. It's calling a stupid comment, a stupid comment. Maybe don't be such a snowflake when people react to your stupid comments.
Is this for real? Sarcasm is way too stronk for me.
Did she not close the interview early? He should have been called out on his stupid comment and moved on. Instead the conversation completely, even cutting off what the black guy had to say.
the irony of this. lol
Amen

This whole thread has been pretty funny but this really takes the cake. How does one post something like that without the slightest self awareness?
One of the consequences of behaving like a jackass is that people sometimes stop interacting with you. That's pretty normal social behavior.

Maybe they are immigrants from Fox News.
Ugh what a dick. Pretty unbelievable (not really though) that people are defending such a blatant use of straight make privilege and claiming it isn't sexist. I have a hard time believing that any woman could go on air and openly flaunt her sexual preferences on live TV and not receive a totally different, harsher backlash. The anchor did the right thing since he was just wasting her time on air, although it's too bad she cut off her other guest as well

Because this isn't CNN, and you're not talking to millions of people.
I say "fuck" here. Don't expect me to do so when my boss asks me why some of my team haven't finished their asignments.
SAY IT AGAIN
No one's censoring anyone's thoughts. There's a difference between reacting to what people say and "censoring their thoughts".

My take as a woman who happens to have boobs:
The comment was offensive because it it was even a compliment to women. Just boobs on general. Like women only exist for his enjoyment of boobs. It's definitely not something to say in a professional setting, especially to a woman, who have had to fight for literally centuries to be considered more than than just the parts that being men pleasure.
Talk about it with your buddies at the bar. What the fuck ever.
Fuck you if you say it a professional woman who's likely had to claw her way to the top and fend off comments about her locks and genitalia.

It's not difficult to avoid sounding like a 12 year old is the whole issue to me. They guy gets his jollies being a shock jock though and CNN likely knew what they were getting into. Setting up someone who will inevitably disrespect your own anchors seems like a shitty way to go.

Yea. I gotta cosign this. There's just shit you don't say in a professional setting.
People always take this out of context. He was lying in this frame to try and get out of jail.

Who doesn't believe in boobs? I mean, to be nursed by our mothers was the first way of ingestion we all experienced, right? That alone is enough to worship boobs as much as constitutional rights.
Also, I have the strong feeling some people really wish for a dystopian society like depicted in Demolition Man to become true, one wrong not pc word spoken and, baam, you get fined for language violation.

What do people not get about taking responsibility for their words? Just because you have the right to say shit doesn't mean you for some reason are immune to backlash or criticism.
It's ridiculous how many people need education on what freedom of speech actually is.
