How could a reputable news organization stoop so low? The headline was not only insensitive and offensive, but it also violated the privacy and dignity of women. To add insult to injury, Bloomberg's defense of the headline was equally appalling.
They claimed that the app was "intended to empower women." However, no amount of spin can justify the intrusion and surveillance that this app represents. Women should not have their reproductive health tracked and monitored without their explicit consent.
This incident is not an isolated case.
Bloomberg has a history of misogyny and sexism. In 2018, they were criticized for publishing articles that promoted harmful stereotypes about women. These articles were written by male journalists, reflecting a lack of diversity and gender sensitivity within the organization.Here's what you can do:
Contact Bloomberg and demand an apology.
Sign petitions and spread the word about this outrageous incident.
Support organizations that are fighting for women's rights and media ethics.
Together, we can hold Bloomberg accountable and send a message that misogyny and sexism will not be tolerated.
