Not really, considering that she gave up her ENTIRE FUCKING CAREER for him.

Seriously, no good TV. None.

NO one is shitting on him. He’s fine. We are shitting on the asshole who wrote the headline.

So he’s supposed to get a cookie for what women do all the damn time?

but ignoring how much her husband is giving up, is just as fucking sexist

Spokanistan

I have an interest in societies consumption of sports. In a passing sense.

I don’t know anything about Columbia but we frequently refer to Spokane as the Can or SpoCompton.

Ouch. You sure showed me internet person. I wonder if my view of sports or it’s focus is going to change based on your scathing and well thought out reply.

OOH Cookies for the man who actually carries out basic human activities! Imagine! He is taking time from work to care for his wife! Nobody has ever done that*! What a trailblazer!

As mentioned in the article, it is fine and reasonable to include it- but not to lead with it! Imagine you had a brain tumor and everyone walked up to you to tell you how much of strain it is on your partner and what a saint they were being to take care of you before expressing sympathy for you.

And movies starring women and/or people of color just don’t make money, which is why so few of them are made (even though they actually make lots of money when they are made).

It’s really puzzling that you’re so offended about this.

Dude take a breath. No one is shitting all over Jrue taking time off to care for his wife. It’s about the presentation. Jesus.

As a former journalist, I can tell you that there is a reason why the first sentence of a story is called the lede (or lead). It’s because that’s where you put the information you consider the most important. That’s where the phrase “burying the lede” comes from—and that’s what this obit does.

They are in the sense that they’re given less time, fewer rounds, less media coverage, less money, less corporate sponsorships, etc. D; But hey, remember that the MRAs agree that women are actually more privileged in this country than men. /snark

Women have been doing the heavy lifting on the caretaking of sick children, spouses and parents since the beginning of time and don’t get front-page articles about their amazing sacrifices. It’s great that he’s doing it, but the fact that he is shouldn’t be lauded like something above and beyond. In sickness and in…

I think people take umbrage at the fact that for women, reproductive and domestic achievements typically land the lede, while their professional achievements are secondary. This is rarely the case for accomplished men. Their children will be mentioned, naturally, but not as their crowning achievement in life.

But sprots!

I think she should be able to work again, but a communications professor blocking journalists from a public area and saying bring some muscle (a threat) is a very, very, very bad look. That and her non-apology, I know I sure as hell wouldn’t want her working for any department I was involved with.
