    Legitimate post

    To everyone who thinks this story shouldn't be on Broadsheet, I would disagree.

    In this forum, ANS has been described as a "train wreck with tits," "self-interested prostitute," "gold digger," "a carcass to poke a stick [at] like a pinata," "bad mother, bad wife/girlfriend," and even "bad employee." I'd say that loaded language demonstrates the legitimacy of this story being on Broadsheet.

    Broadsheet is about gender issues in society, and sometimes those issues are manifested in news events, but they also show up in pop culture.

    —Jessica
