While I'm no fan of Hillary . . . I do note the NY Times today, front page ---

MacCain and Clinton Caputure Tough Wins

Large photo of MacCain, which is centered on himself and his wife ---

a photo about 3/4's smaller of Hillary and an audience below it ---

In fact, someone would have to confirm that it is Hillary the photo is so indistinct --


The usual NY Times treatment of females ---

[OneMoreDemocrat]

1. The usual NY TImes treatment of females......

Huh?

[Captain Hilts]

2. I think they mean 'women'. 'Females' includes dogs, cats, trees...but you are right about the NYT.

[defendandprotect]

4. No ... I mean females ---

Males include dogs, cats, trees --- and I'm still right about the NYT ---

what is this aversion to the use of "female" ---

it's the opposite of male ---

don'tcha know . . . ?

[defendandprotect]

6. "Women" suggests a female of some age --- FEMALE doesn't ---

FEMALE includes all --- young, old and in between ---

[Captain Hilts]

9. 'Females' is not exclusive to humans and is seen as insulting. 'Girls' are always specified..

because they make headlines so rarely.

'Female' is best used as an adjective not a noun.

[defendandprotect]

11. So . . . we can't use the term "Male" either . . . because that's the opposite --- ???

and it is not exclusive to humans and is seen as insulting. 'Boys' are always specified.. -- ?????

I think something got started here which is way off the track and we should keep at this conversation ---

[defendandprotect]

12. Who thought up this nonsense . . . ???

Since when aren't "females" the female of the species????

[defendandprotect]

5. You never noticed how females are invisible to the NY Times?

[Captain Hilts]

10. It's also the way they are visible. There's a rebellion going on in the Book Review section...

for example.

3. Why is the media allowed to control elections in this country? nt

[defendandprotect]

7. Right . . . !! And, I don't know that we can argue that CLINTON should have

had "top billing" in this report --- based on money she's raised, perhaps?

But I don't like the way MacCain was pushed forward and above HRC overall in this report ---

[Sarah Ibarruri]

8. You're correct. There's no doubt in my mind corporations are controlling our elections.....

... my problem is that candidates are kowtowing to corporations. Some more than others.
