And while the female fight may have gotten its start on cable news, it’s since made a home for itself in nearly every other genre of television.

Jennings Randolph in describing the women’s liberation movement as “a small band of bra-less bubbleheads.” We meet Jacque Davison, a woman who’s expressing her disagreement with the movement itself. And in the final moments of the segment, we see Davison in a physical fight with a female protester.
