day 179

Happy International Womens day! Our work recieves both the Age and the Herald scum. The age is full of articles pertaining to gender equality around australia and the world. The Sun, on the other hand, has one column on page 9 about how "men dont get it." On page 7 though there is a lovely story about a 'hero' husband saving his bride from a burning car on their wedding day. The opinion section shows an even starker disparity in priorities.
there are 9 articles/letters dedicated to gender equality in the Age opinion section, plus a full page focus article. In the herald sun opinion section there is two decent sized articles hating on the St Kilda school girl and another telling us that the "(dangerously obese) actually need to hate their bodies.."
Yes I am quite aware that I have a bias towards the age  ..but seriously? try a little harder Herald scum.
