While the 2016 Rio Olympics has been filled with memorable victories by athletes of all genders, this year’s Games has also had its fair share of sexist moments.
A video by UltraViolet — a national women’s advocacy group known for conducting online campaigns to highlight women’s issues such as violence, maternity leave and equal rights — calls out the media for some of the blatant sexism that has been displayed thus far during the 2016 Olympics coverage.
The video compiled some of the most unbelievably sexist moments in Rio coverage, beginning with the Fox News segment in which host Tamara Holder explained, “female Olympians are sexing it up more than ever by wearing makeup…” before asking two male reporters to discuss their thoughts on the topic.
“Fun Fact: Olympians get gold for winning, not for looks.”
