Look Kallie, I’ll give you a little hint.  “By this age, women should know” is never a good way to start a sentence, unless it’s “women should know that their true value is invested not in the clothes they choose to wear but the impact they leave upon society and the world through their actions and personalities” or “women should know to look both ways before crossing the road”.

Or perhaps “Women should know never to tell another woman how to dress, not least when half the items they discuss refer specifically to the way they appear to the opposite gender and how attractive they appear”.  Women should know that rocket scientists can wear disco pants, neurosurgeons can wear crop tops, good listeners can wear furry boots, lovers can wear dungarees, and activists can wear hoop earrings.  Women should know that what they do, and what they say, is so much more important than what they wear.

Ayup.

This morning, as I was perusing through my Facebook timeline, I happened upon an article that a lovely friend shared. It was entitled “24 Things Women Should Stop Wearing After Age 30,’ and it triggered Maximum Eye-Rolling from everyone who took the time out to read it.

Motivated by Kallie’s “article”, I decided to churn up one of my own! I bring you now:

In 2015 and early 2016, CNN hosted more than twice as many anti-choice guests as pro-choice guests on its evening news programs, according to a new Media Matters study. CNN also didn’t host any reproductive rights advocates as guests until November’s fatal attack on a Colorado Springs, CO, Planned Parenthood health care center. 

It Took A Deadly Attack For CNN To Make Time For Pro-Choice Advocates In Its Slanted Abortion Discussions

CNN killed the journalism star.

A Media Matters study of 14 months of evening cable news programs found that discussions of abortion were weighted toward anti-choice speakers, which resulted in widespread misinformation on the topic. 

• 705 statements containing inaccurate abortion-related information aired on Fox News;
• 70 percent of Fox News appearances* were by people — including hosts, correspondents, and guests — who either identify as anti-choice or who consistently or mostly made anti-choice statements;
• CNN had three times the number of anti-choice guest appearances as pro-choice;
• 40 percent of all appearances on all three networks [Fox, CNN, MSNBC] were made by people who either identify as anti-choice or who consistently or mostly made anti-choice statements;
• 17 percent of all appearances on all three networks were made by people who either identify as pro-choice or consistently or mostly made pro-choice statements;
• 62 percent of all appearances on all networks — including hosts, correspondents, and guests — were male; and
• There was one appearance by a group that represents and advocates for reproductive rights for women of color.
