Do some people actually think like this? Have just seen a comment on the DM website which made me sick

Fucking hell I was reading this about the attack on a reporter in Egypt when I scrolled down to the comments and some twat has posted this:

"Serves her right.. its about time women reporters started to get the picture and not go to these places - Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, North Africa, etc - the people in these countries in the main do not have the same values as this reporter. So although I do feel sorry for what has happened to her I sincerely hope she has learnt her lesson"

FFS Angry words fail me.

Awful but a little true? There are places in the world where being a woman is more risky than being a man, I wouldn't have wanted to report on Afghanistan 10 years ago. I've been to Egypt and have felt very unsafe and in Morocco when the men gather in the doorway of a shop to stop you getting out. (This did not happen when a man was with me either, only when I was alone)

I didn't actually think that that anything in the DM could shock me anymore but I don't know how they get away with posting such shit.

Never read the Daily Mail. I also once made the mistake of reading the Daily Express letters page and felt the urge to wipe my eyes clean afterwards.

Bigoted crap the lot of it.

It is the DM and they will use all the comment to make a story about how the bristish public think woman shouldn't go to those types of places - twisted.

words fail me that people actually read the paper - but they do in their droves as it is the most popular daily paper < shakes head in dispair>

It's the DM, innit? Always amazes me that people who are so ignorant can actually read.

Never ever ever read the comments in the DM. It is much worse than reading the paper.

I have given up reading it, it just annoys me.
