Around the world
- In the US, a radio host makes a racist and sexist remark about a women’s college basketball team. Here’s the response of the Rutgers women.
- In India, an absurdly personal appraisal form for women civil servants, to be introduced from next year, is apparently being reviewed.
- In Britain, the leader of the Anglican church in Wales has called for his church to let women priests become bishops.
- In Canada, breast cancer deaths have gone down by 25% in two decades. Screening helps!
- In Chennai, a car driving course for women.
The Rutger’s women’s team gave a very thoughtful response. Perhaps media will consider?
the personnel appraisal form is a joke. They tried regulating what women wear in colleges a few years ago. These are very embarrassing to see.

Hi, I have been reading your blog for a while. I think Don Imus had this coming. This racist and sexist remark was the last straw. People had been putting up with him but enough is enough. In these days of “political correctness” you can’t get away with “nappy headed hos” any more.
