Pregnant Fox News anchor slams people offended by her maternity clothes

A news anchor who was pregnant at the time was wearing dresses to do her job on television and was then criticized by viewers. 

Viewers emailed and messaged Kristen Nicole, the news anchor, to give their negative input. She said that they told her to "stop wearing tight dresses" and that "nobody wanted to see it". I find this almost unbelievable. A woman cannot control how her baby bump looks in clothes and she should be allowed to wear whatever she wants to without public criticism over her natural body. The article says "Just because news anchors are in the public eye doesn’t give people the right to criticize their attire." I completely agree with this and believe that the public needs to not be so quick to judge people. Often people forget that the people on television are real and that you should not feel free to openly criticize them. 

I could not help but to think of the "Feminist Frontiers" article while reading about how a pregnant woman was being criticized based on appearance. A quote from the article is, "Even within the most traditional male-dominated organizations and fields, gender relations are not immutable and women employ diverse strategies to resist gender inequality ranging from abortion rights, domestic violence, childhood sexual abuse, and pregnancy discrimination to daycare, sexual harassment, and welfare rights (Ferree and Hess 1994; Gagne 1998; Luker 1984; Staggenborg 1996; Whittier 2009). I felt that the viewers were discriminating against the news anchor by saying that what she was wearing was inappropriate just because she was pregnant. Obviously, there was no other issue with her outfits any other time, just when she was visibly pregnant. Pregnancy is not a shameful thing and women cannot hide it and should not have to try.
