With much of the nation watching on Friday morning, Today host Karl Stefanovic did what so few men in high-profile and high-powered positions do in this day and age. He called out sexism for what is it.
He didn’t do it privately or comment on the ridiculous double standards women face every day casually over a knock-off beer at the end of the work week.
Speaking about an article published by The Daily Mail on Thursday evening, the 42-year-old said, “This website specialises in shaming women, for what they wear, for how much they weigh, for how much weight they have lost, for going to the beach. It has a despicable track record for denigrating women for who they are, for choices they make and for denigrating women full stop.”
He didn't preface his statement by saying that his feelings come from being a father to a girl or the son of an amazing mother or the partner of a talented woman, as so many men attempting to stand up for what's right often do.
