I sure am grateful for Sarah and Sonia....

If not for them, Huffpo's frontpage female representation would consist of nothing but tits/ass, Michelle's Outfits and women as consumer-joke.

and what was up with the pic accompanying the story re: "world's oldest mom dead!" ??? A cut-the-head-off shot of a huge pregnant 25 year-old belly (with just a hint of tit, to spice it up)?

5. that's an excellent idea!

I'll have to see if there's a letter to the editor link. I don't want to post it on any general discussion board. If the people there eat this crap up, they're not going to see or care how it contributes to damaging concepts about women.
