Super Bowl myths story neglects feminist domestic violence lie
January 31st 2007 20:19
This Chicago Tribune story is atrocious. It's about Super Bowl myths, but it doesn't mention the biggest one of all -- indeed, the only one I'd ever heard of before the story -- that domestic violence spikes on that day.
The writer doesn't hesitate to call this one "slightly sexist" though:
"Lingerie sales jump in the days before the Super Bowl as women look for ways to woo their significant others away from the big game."
Apparently anti-male sexism, and the world's most oft-repeated Super Bowl myth, doesn't matter.
