Fox News' “Medical A-Team” member Dr. Keith Ablow claimed that girls can “certainly provoke” harassment by wearing leggings to school.

On the May 9 edition of Fox's Outnumbered, Ablow and his fellow co-hosts discussed a school that is allegedly telling its female students that wearing leggings to school is inappropriate and distracting to the male students. Ablow said any harassment the girls might experience while wearing leggings “was certainly provoked” (emphasis added):

ABLOW: You cannot come in with leggings. Because my son wants to learn and the truth is it is distracting. And it is kind of inappropriate because when did we decide as a culture that tights would become an overgarment instead of an undergarment. The reason we're doing that is because girls are in a panic to be more and more sexual because we've taken all the restraint away from femininity. We've made girls into boys.

[...]

ABLOW: I don't know that we can restrain boys from being boys. So the long stare, the offhand comment, you have to -- what do you do, excuse it? Because it was certainly provoked. And I think girls put themselves in the line of fire that way.

Ablow has a history of wildly sexist remarks on Fox News. He has previously said that allowing women to serve in combat roles is “narcissism,” that a parent who bought dolls for her son was “nuts” for “gender-bending,” and that Newt Gingrich's three marriages would make him a strong president.
