The Globe's gone through a lot of changes over the past couple of years, but one thing remains a constant on Morrissey Boulevard: A fixation on stories about the amazing things women can do these days. Like, oh, become tattoo artists. Lissa Harris has started a blog to chronicle all these "Women Do" stories:
... Far from having sprung fully formed from a fit of pique this afternoon, the Women Do Project has been underway for some years--since at least 2006, when I was toiling in the swamps of the Weekly Dig's Media Farm. There, it came to my attention one day that women go bowling. Amazed by this, I did a little poking around, and discovered that women also shoot guns and DJ. Yea, they even blog. There seemed no end to the stuff Globe reporters would uncover about these preternaturally accomplished she-beings. ...
Like the job UHub is doing? Consider a contribution. Thanks!

If all these women are out shooting guns and bowling who is cooking my dinner? Thats a story the globe needs to cover!
Of course I was being sarcastic, I hope all the fembots out there ready to flame me realize that.

Your telling me that its possible that the editors of the Boston Globe are sitting around the news room looking at an ampty table just wishing and hoping that the mail will come and deliver them a press release about a unity pot luck breakfast in Mattapan or a protest over something smelly in Cambridge??? I have a feeling that the Globe gets plenty of press releases on a daily basis to fill 25 newspapers a day, and that is not an excuse for a stupid inane story.
