Ultra-Orthodox Jewish Newspaper Edits Female World Leaders Out of Charlie Hebdo March“Yesterday’s historic march across Paris included over 40 world leaders expressing solidarity for France after the Charlie Hebdo massacre, but if you read this Haredi newspaper, you’d believe that none of them were women.The image that ran on the front page of the Israeli newspaper The Announcer edited female world leaders out of the image, originally provided by wire service GPO: German Chancellor Angela Merkel and EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini.The woman in the blue scarf is Anne Hidalgo, the Mayor of Paris, who rallied the city to respond to the egregious attacks, but is totally a woman and therefore not important enough to be in these images.The woman in the puffy coat cropped out of the picture is not Denmark PM Helle Thorning-Schmidt as initially reported, but Federica Mogherini, the High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy. (Proof: this puffy coat.) She’s an extremely important figure in European politics — her position places her in charge of the EU’s foreign policy — but she’s still a woman, so no, she doesn’t get to be in the photo.”Read the full piece hereSo many religions, so much contempt for women. Pathetic. -- source link
