I thought it might be interesting to compile a thread with examples of sexist language from the mainstream media.
This has been "inspired" by this article in the DM about Brian Cox which says:
"Today his plate is very full. As well as the TV work (a second series starts filming in June), there?s his day job at Manchester University, where he?s in the middle of writing a paper about ?measuring Higgs couplings?, as well as ongoing work at CERN, publicising his book ?Why Does E=mc2?? and babysitting his 10 month old son George.
Uh, hello he is not "babysitting" he is a father who is bringing up his child. This would so not have been said about a woman!
