ny times article, Oct. 18, 1851 : "We regret to see how obstinately our American women are bent on appropriating more than their fair share of Constitutional privileges."

the 'Times' as a tardy leader and the history of women's rights @ the awl : Understanding that to be heard is to be read, suffragists sought to express themselves in print. Stanton and Susan B. Anthony first published their feminist newspaper The Revolution in January 1868. ... And the Times depicted the paper as “meaningless,” foolish,” and “a victim of illogical thinking.”

research on female breadwinners gets twisted media coverage : So it's too bad that virtually all the major media coverage of the study (mostly in the British press, as the American press has hardly bothered to cover the study at all) got the facts egregiously wrong, inverting the findings to focus on men’s experiences and validate sexist malarkey. I saw misleading headlines such as, “Working Mothers Perpetuating Myth of 'The Useless Man' to Feel More Feminine,” and, "'Myth' of Mr. Useless: Why Women Breadwinners Exaggerate Partner’s Faults.”
