Tuesday, January 21, 2003 Nicholas noted in a post some time ago a sexist headline in the Express; today there's a sexist caption accompanying the photo on the back page of the Wire, the Guardian's coquettish younger sister. The caption reads in part: "Petite Charmaine Khan receives the 'Horse of the Year' award on behalf of her father Roland Khan." Why "petite"? Why not just Charmaine Khan? What does her physicality have to do with her collecting an award? Why isn't the person handing her the award, Chan Chadeesingh, described according to his physical features? Another one to think about... posted by Jonathan | 9:18 AM 0 comments 0 Comments: |
