Dear Daily Mail #1

Dear Daily Mail, and The Telegraph,

Last time I checked, Sarah Brown, Samantha Cameron, and Miriam Gonzalez Durantez were not paid members of state.

I don't care if they're married to someone running for Prime Minister. I don't see how that is at all relevant to an election campaign.

They don't make policies, or give financial advice. I'm pretty sure all these women have lives, and careers, and interests of their own, stretching far beyond their spouse's job.

I'm not deciding who to vote for based on what their partners' toes look like.

If you're quite done with trivialising and objectifying these women, please shut up. Oh, and if you're not done, shut up anyway.

Sincerely,
Me.
