Lady reporters too sexy for Twitter

In case you didn’t see this gem, media and politics blog FishbowlDC thinks that female journalists should stop being so damn sexy in their Twitter avatars. They even provide some examples of these scandalously whorish women with a couple of happy looking ladyreporters, and ask readers to send in similarly slutty pics.

When taken to task over the blatant sexism of the post over Twitter, FishbowlDC devolved into…well, I’ll let you judge for yourself.

So in honor of FishbowlDC I’ve changed my twitter avatar. 

Fuck you very much.

Oh, and if you want to see male journalists tweeting/changing their avatars in solidarity, check out the hashtag #pressdudesgonewild.
