I’m glad the emails to the station were curious and not complainy, from the couple I saw. Kind of seemed like “yep women are observant and intelligent and naturally asked a question about a rare occurrence out of curiosity“

Presumably some of the people writing in would structure the world in a less misogynistic fashion, were we to give them magic wands, but they still made observations in today’s world. I would’ve been really sad if all the emails were taking digs at the anchors!

I didn't read through them but I saw a few as they passed and I'm pretty sure I saw at least a couple iterations of "did they run out of clothes", which felt pretty nasty to me
