Fox News fans have called for Jesse Watters to be fired following his latest baffling remarks about young women.
The TV host unleashed a rant on The Five this week, as the panel spoke about "highly educated, downwardly mobile" women supporting Democratic Socialist candidates.
According to Watters, 48, men don't care about women's education, as he claimed a college degree has a detrimental effect on love life. The host's latest remarks have been branded sexist by viewers.

"I wanna talk about these college-educated, downwardly mobile women, because it's mostly women," he said.
Watters suggested that unless women come from well-off families who can afford to pay for their education, they shouldn't consider getting a loan to be able to afford college, as it could cause them problems in the future.

He argued, "If you're gonna take out a loan to get a degree in humanities or the social sciences, what are you thinking?
"You're gonna be 28 years old and you'll have no skills and no experience and you're not gonna take an entry-level offer because you think you have this big, fancy degree, that you're worth more.
"And you don't wanna take that entry-level salary because you can't afford to."
Watters claimed that these women dream of living in Manhattan but end up having to move back in with their parents as their student loan makes it impossible to afford the lifestyle they would like to have.
"And that is going to kill your love life," the Fox host continued. "And you're gonna look around, and you're gonna see all your other younger friends doing better because they've been in the workforce longer and they've worked harder."
"So then you're gonna be resentful," Watters said. "And then you're gonna get bitter because you are single, and if you are a woman, men don't care if you have a PhD. That is not high on our list of attributes."

Continuing his rant, he claimed women who are not "in the market" will get "angry," "ugly" and "have a bad attitude."
He added, "No one wants to hire anybody with a bad attitude. Nobody wants to date anybody with a bad attitude."
Sharing some unsolicited advice, Watters said, "But you can dig yourself out of that hole. You could take a job in a totally different field and work your tail off, or you could move somewhere else, or maybe, just maybe, you could get it together and find love.
"And then you could build a life together, 'cause it's a lot easier to do that with someone else with another income."
While Watters often makes sexist comments aimed at women, the latest remarks prompted strong reaction on social media - and many Fox News viewers said he shouldn't be allowed to share these thoughs on mainstream television.
A disappointed viewer wrote on X, "This absolute poor excuse of a man needs to be taken off the air and thrown into n a f---ing cage. Or better yet a really deep dark hole.
"How does he even look his children in the eye. Although he probably would sell them to the highest bidder."
"This guy shows up in my feed every day oozing misogyny. He really can't help himself," another tweeted.
Someone else said, "He speaks on behalf of all the un-f---able, glass-fragile MAGA incel men and their failed little pathetic lives, who are all just so incredibly threatened by a college educated woman."

One more reflected, "It's amazing his female co-workers put up with this f---ing pig."
A person wrote, "It's kinda baffling how the republican party line is now just straight up misogyny..."
Another shared, "@JesseBWatters apparently cannot conceive of a female who doesn't define her self-worth by her attachment to a man."
