Although i do support the practice of addressing the sexism issue as someone has already pointed out to the act if a female was reference in a post, then often is the case the question of "pic?" soon followed which was never necessary but in my opinion, i just see it all as a fool's errand to think one can truly effect change to a person hiding behind a keyboard on the internet.

Even our city's newspaper has a page dedicated to displaying a different female model each day and i don't believe that it takes any professionalism away from the establishment itself.
Actually, that exact issue has been used many times to argue Sun Media's lack of professionalism (among other things).

There's a reason why the other papers don't do it, and why the Sun is considered a rag by many.
