The Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly, invited two colleagues onto her show and gave them a piece of her mind.

While she refused to accept the label of "feminist" she went on to loudly bash her coworkers' sexist remarks.

"What makes you dominant and me submissive?" she asked Lou Dobbs, the conservative talk show host, and Erik Erikson, the editor of Redstate.com .

The heated back and forth was sparked by a recent Pew Study that discovered that women were the breadwinners in four out of 10 American households.

During an all-male panel on Dobbs' Fox Business Channel talk show, both men claimed that this trend was unnatural and against the laws of science.

Kelly played several sound bites from the panel, including one where Erikson states, "When you look at biology, look at the natural world, the roles of a male and a female in society and in other animals, the male typically is the dominant role."

To that, the 42-year-old working mom curtly replied, "Who died and made you scientist-in-chief?"

The fuming anchor argued that children who grow up in households with a working mom fare just as well as children who were brought up in houses where the moms stay at home.

At one point, she even said that kids with gay parents or single working moms end up doing just as well as those brought up by a heterosexual couple.

And she had the data to prove it.

Kelly referred to studies by the American Psychological Association, the American Academy of Pediatrics, Columbia University and others.

But Dobbs and Erickson were not convinced.

Dobbs jumped in to say his piece.

"To ignore the fact that we have marriages breaking up, shattering in this society, and we know that that reduces by at least —"

"Why are you attributing that to women in the workforce?" Kelly interrupted.

She ended by giving the two men a history lesson.

"Do you know that in this country in the '50s and '60s there were huge, huge numbers of people that believed that the children of interracial marriages were inferior were biologically inferior?"

She reminded the men that it was actually illegal for blacks and whites to marry in some American states until 1967.

"And they said it was science and it was fact if you were a child of a black father and a white mother or vice versa you were inferior and you were not set up for success," Kelly said.

"Tell that to Barack Obama."
