If there isn't a sexist element at play, why is Farrell the only councilor who is referred to by her first name? I never see comments about Naheed or Sean or Jim or Joe or Ray?
I've brought it up before but you often see female politicians reduced to their first name (Rachel, Alison, Kristy, etc.) but almost never men. Justin is one, but that's because his detractors want to portray him as a little boy in a man's world.
