Broadsheet is a frustrating mix of serious entries on issues of serious concern and of annoying celebrity talk. The first are related to women, but are not only for women- as long as we treat things such as honor killings as women's rissues rather than human issues, they will keep happening. The second field of coverage is perfectly fine for those who are interested, but I resent the two being placed together. They are not equivalent and should not be treated as such.
The post on honor killings is a perfect example - it is immediately followed by a post on a guy with a Paris Hilton display on his front lawn. What a lack of respect for Fatima. She deserved better from her family, and from Salon.
