What do you guys make of this? (Local mayoral candidate video)

Barb Higgins (the candidate) talks with interviewer. It is also germane to this question that before she became a mayoral candidate, Ms. Higgins was a 6:00 news anchor for a couple of decades - she is by no means a stranger to the interview process. There seems two be two schools of thought here - one, as a mayoral candidate, you open yourself up to questions and it’s your job to learn how to field them. The second school of thought is that the interviewer/questions were inappropriate, bordering on misogynistic.

What do you guys think of this? What is your outsider’s take?

For comparison purposes, here is a different candidate with the same interviewer in the same situation.
