Pick for Federal Board says to keep women out of men’s sports, unless they’re good-looking April 25, 2019 By Olivia Maranan President Trump’s possible nominee for the Federal Board, Stephen Moore, wrote columns expressing his sexism towards women. These columns were recovered on April 22 by CNN. In these columns, Moore states that women want “equal pay for inferior work.” He feels that the N.C.A.A. should adopt a “no women rule . . . no more women refs, no women announcers, no women beer venders, no women anything.” According to CNN, Moore says that “there is, of course, an exception to this rule. Women are permitted to participate, if and only if, they look like Bonnie Bernstein. The fact that Bonnie knows nothing about basketball is entirely irrelevant.” He went on to say that she “should wear a halter top. This is a no-brainer, CBS.” With Niles North being an open-minded school that believes in equality, Moore’s comments have stirred up many reactions from students and staff. “When we treat comments and ‘jokes’ like his as if they are no big deal, it sends the message that discrimination and violence against women are no big deal and is something that we, as a country, can just laugh off,” said senior Jillian Friedman, an active member of NN’s Feminism club.
