Note to newscasters: not all women want to be or are “victims” in the sense the media make a show of.
Grace Eldering and Pearl Kendrick invented the vaccine against a disease that had been killing up to 6,000 children ever year: Whooping Cough.
Their vaccine now saves around half-a-million lives every year.
Grace Eldering and Pearl Kendrick are heroes. Or heroines, if you prefer.
In any case, I doubt they’d worry about having their hair pulled.
Too busy being fabulous.

We welcome thoughtful disagreement.
But we do (ir)regularly moderate comments -- and we *will* delete any with insulting or abusive language. Or if they're just inane. It’s okay to disagree, but pretend you’re having a drink in the living room with the person you’re disagreeing with. This includes me.
PS: Have the honesty and courage to use your real name. That gives added weight to any opinion.
