Female journalists ghetto?

I came 10 min late to the Fox Republican debate. I opened my TV just as Megyn Kelly was asking Trump about his offensive language toward women. And my first, instinctive reaction was: why is she the one asking this questions? Why not get the Wallace boy to raise this point? Yes, she asked other questions and all of them were tough on Trump and the other candidates. But Trump jumped on her.

He probably would have find ways to attack here, regardless. Apparently Chris Matthews predicted that Trump would go after Kelly. Still,I wish that one of the men asked this question. This is not about a "women" issue, this is about civility and decency that, as we've seen every day, Trump don't care and his supporters love.
