Jan Moir : Can you believe it?

As you know by now, Jan Moir, a columnist of the Daily Mail has written a hateful article on the death of Stephen Gately. She insinuates that being Gay is what caused his tragic death.

I figured there was no point putting up something as the news broke, ever man and his cyberpet was doing that. I figured that I’d wait to see if time would calm me down, so that I didn’t publish a post full of spitting bile. It has now been nearly 7 hours since I found out, and I’m still angry. I’m still angry because I find no news that she’s offered her resignation. I’m still angry because if anyone else had said something similar about one of the Daily Mail’s Heros, from any other paper, the Daily Mail would be clamouring for their head on a platter. Why are the other papers NOT calling for her resignation?

The rest of the article, if you read past the hateful comments about Stephen Gately, you’ll see that she’s also against Maternity leave. Against it because according to her, it’s killing small business because of the amount of time off a Mother needs with her New-Born Child. We’ll ignore the Sexism of that for now, but where does she get off telling people that they should not be at home with their kids the one minuit, and writing for a paper that bemoans the breakup of Marriages on the other.

I join the ranks of those bloggers out that demand at the very least a public Appology. What we should get is her resignation.
