No, he didn't. That is what the left reported, but that is not what he said. Here is his actual statement:
“In the South, or in the Midwest, there in Iowa, you would not have people who would just throw the F-bomb or use gratuitous profanity in a professional setting. In New York, not only do the men do it, but the women. My gosh, this is worse than locker-room talk. As we would say in the South, that’s just trashy.”
So he didn't say anything about Fox News, and didn't call women trashy. He called the use of profanity and vulgarity in a professional setting "trashy". And he mentioned both men and women in that statement.
Please try to avoid perpetuating leftist lies on a conservative site... :-)
And I didn't say he said either of those things.

Unfortunately, the Huckabee haters here on FR will REPORT ANYTHING FROM ANY SOURCE (regardless how questionable) IF it fits their agenda of committing deflamation of character against Mike Huckabee.
Of course, it is NOT just Mike Huckabee they recklessly attack. Anyone in the race for the GOP pick that is NOT there horse is going to get trashed. Most of it expressed as FACT and not the OPINION that it is. I have been here on FR off and on for over a decade. The general tenor of discussion is getting more debased and vulgar.
Plus, instead of accurately attacking a candidate’s position, they create a fantasy straw man and attack that. Plus, I have seen the most outrageous claims made about what a candidate did in the past (and their motives - which the writer could NOT really know) and spread it as bonafide truth.
I married a gal from upstate NY, from a hard-working, farming family. The first thing I noticed about them was how casually they used the F-word, and other really nasty sounding cuss words, and the young teenagers in the family talked that way around the parents.Parents talked that way around them. I was from the South and didn’t grow up hearing much cussing except from my father who only cussed when he got mad. I would hear the occasional F-word at school but not much. My mother and sisters never used vulgar language. But the one thing that really stands out from all those years ago was how the men in the big, extended family hardly ever cussed, COMPARED to the women! And no one thought anything of it. It seems like the F-word was used every five or six words. But not all families in that little upstate NY town talked like that. I could never really figure it out. I guess it was the parents fault for cussing so much and the children hearing all the filthy language. But other than the cussing they were great people and would give you the shirt off their back and they never met a stranger.
