Anti-male sexism once again became a topic on the March 11 edition of "The View." Discussing New York Governor Eliot Spitzer’s prostitution scandal, Joy Behar, who called men "idiots" who "think with Mr. Happy," shouted "I am sick of men and their sexual proclivities." Sherri Shepherd quickly responded "don’t put it on men." Elisabeth Hasselbeck noted the prostitute was a woman and "there are two people to blame there, two people that tangoed here." Later in the conversation Behar claimed "I don’t hate men. I hate politicians."
Behar also added "it seems as though power and sex go together with men." She also said she "would like to see a scandal where a woman is getting great sex." Whoopi Goldberg then inquired what kind of reaction would ensue if a female politician was caught with a male prostitute. Behar theorized that "they’d burn her at the stake."
The relevant portions of the conversation are below.
JOY BEHAR: Aren’t you sick of men? I mean- [applause] I am sick of men and their sexual proclivities.
SHERRI SHEPHERD: No! Don’t put it on men.
ELISABETH HASSELBECK: Excuse me.
BEHAR: Viagra is destroying our government. [laughter] It must be stopped. And it’s not a coincidence that it’s called the Mann Act when you take a hooker from one state to another.
BARBARA WALTERS: Joy it’s M-A-N-N.
HASSELBECK: Excuse me, but that hooker was a woman, so there are two people to blame there, two people that tangoed there. So I don’t think it’s about a man or a woman.
[...]
WALTERS: Whether you hate men, or don’t hate men-
BEHAR: I don’t hate men. I hate politicians.
[...]
BEHAR: It seems as though power and sex go together with men.
HASSELBECK: Well, it depends if-
WHOOPI GOLDBERG: Well, if they’re buying it.
BEHAR: I would like to see a scandal where a woman is getting great sex. Where do we see that? You never see that.
WALTERS: But you don’t have women who rape, and you know, the sexes, however we were created, the sexes are clearly different.
GOLDBERG: I’m sorry, how would we be if it was a woman governor or congressperson who got caught soliciting a guy hooker? Would that-
HASSELBECK: Just as furious.
BEHAR: Oh my God, they’d burn her at the stake.

Joy is just jealous.
Tue, 03/11/2008 - 14:31 ET by kgJoy is just jealous. I can't think of a single male that would even give her a look. The correct statement would be "I am sick of men who refuse to notice me".
"Forget change, I want improvement!"

Tue, 03/11/2008 - 15:57 ET by HypocriteHaterActually, Joy has reproduced as indicated on the IMDB website.
I find her personal quote interesting: "I want a man in my life, not in my house".
Typical feminist attitude. Can't be bothered to live with a man, but whine when no men want to be around them.
Joy's BF
Tue, 03/11/2008 - 18:07 ET by Xango AnnieUnless things have changed, she has been living with...Steve, for decades..I would guess over 20+ years. supposed to be a nice guy...he must have the patience of Job!!!
I also believe she has a daughter.
I don't think she has a clue how embarrassing she is..or she cares.
Joy behar keeps me from drinking.
Mon, 10/12/2009 - 15:46 ET by Willis_Leon_JohnsonI look at her, think "there's just not enough booze to make that attractive" so I just quit drinking.....

I half expected Behar's
Tue, 03/11/2008 - 12:55 ET by Hero SquadI half expected Behar's response was going to be one of the "It's just sex, no big deal" ilk. So in that regard, I'm pleasantly surprised.
But she pigeonholes all men for the actions of one. ...so we're quickly back to the same old ridiculous Joy Behar.

What would she know about men?
Tue, 03/11/2008 - 14:01 ET by wizardjrJoy Behar reminds me a certain woman at the Kwajalien Island missle test range. There were 3,500 bachelors and 30 bachelorettes. One of them looked a bit like Alfred E. Neuman's twin sister. When she started looking good, it was time to get off the island.
With her personality, looks, and voice I find it difficult to vision men lined up at her door looking for 'love'. So it's no surprise she's sick of men. So are the rest of the lesbians man-haters of Hollyweird.

It struck me as a misapplied
Tue, 03/11/2008 - 15:10 ET by Chris NormanIt struck me as a misapplied cliche too. I still have to give Ms. Hasselbeck points for standing up to these harpies.

Barbara: Joy, it's J-U-J-I-T-S-U.
Joy: Will you stop correcting me? You make me look stupid.
Barbara: Not to change the subject, but I suppose George Bush will declare Spitzer another member of the 'axis of evil,' ha-ha.
Joy: AH HA! Barbara it's spelled A-X-E-S, not A-X-S-I-S! Everyone knows that! Guess who looks stupid now??

Hasselbeck
Tue, 03/11/2008 - 15:20 ET by okiehawk44Due to the other people on this show and the quality of its content, my opinion of E. Hasselbeck continues to decline. Why does she remain on this show? She is better than this.

She's in her appropriate milieu.

This doesn't sound like a woman who hates men, it sounds like a woman who goes with the media flow on who we are supposed to like and who we aren't. Clinton got a pass on his shenanigans, but this guy didn't. Yet another vacuous string of run-ons and sentence fragments from our "beloved" Joy Behar.
Dear Joy ...
Tue, 03/11/2008 - 15:33 ET by drillanwrI certainly hope your toilet habits are more consistent than your idiot opinions/remarks/thinking/reasoning/knowledge ... or lack thereof.

Springer or Povitch would be a better way to kill an hour. Better yet, go get a book and take it with you to the john. Then you could really give a sh*t about something.

Ditto on caring what Behar thinks. Much like Mr Olberman, Ms Behars presence on any show where opinions are expressed is baffling as each has about as many credentials as the other. One a third rate comic and the other a third rate sportscaster who suddenly thinks he's a wonk.
