I'd better be careful I suppose in how I talk about these women in case I'm accused of being an 'anti-feminist', but I'll have go anyway. It's curious how some women journalists are treated with hushed tones of reverence and held up as sterling role models for others, whilst other women journalists... aren't, at all. I'm thinking of Vanessa Beeley and others who are treated with close to contempt and called stooges, for merely having the temerity to question the West's conduct in our 'wars of freedom' and 'liberation.' Oh, how we weep and care about the little children and their suffering in Yemen, as Doucet did recently. Yet at the same time not a word, one word, about how the Saudi planes are kept in the air, who supplies the bombs, who's manning the targetting systems, who refuels them. But I suppose real women aren't interested in all that grease monkey stuff, preferring instead to merely share their tears with us?
