It almost sounds like he might have said that ironically, for a laugh, but an ironic tone is so very hard to guard intact on print. I can hardly imagine any man getting away with saying that kind of shit, let alone the editor-in-chief.<BR/><BR/>He probably has enemies.<BR/><BR/>Agree with your point on including "women's" viewpoints (I'm not sure where he's going with that one vis a vis the conference) in the main paper. Having another paper means that women are somehow an identifiable "other" in society and should be treated as such. I do think, after having read this and other articles, that Singapore could do with another Press House.NARDAChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08178357844367164683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5658132.post-1131706204951232042005-11-11T05:50:00.000-05:002005-11-11T05:50:00.000-05:00OMG - this is shocking indeed. i pity the three w...OMG - this is shocking indeed. i pity the three women who have to live with him.儒https://www.blogger.com/profile/15245047481382161439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5658132.post-1131687980164870902005-11-11T00:46:00.000-05:002005-11-11T00:46:00.000-05:00Who wrote the article; a man or a woman?Word verif...Who wrote the article; a man or a woman?<BR/><BR/>Word verification: woarwh (!)Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01208142622079193784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5658132.post-1131672399893231422005-11-10T20:26:00.000-05:002005-11-10T20:26:00.000-05:00I think the UOB ladies card is quite successful, b...I think the UOB ladies card is quite successful, but a newspaper?
