Bono named Woman of the Year

Glamour magazine name the U2 frontman one of 2016’s Women of the Year alongside Simon Biles and Christine Lagarde – seriously

Cindie Levie said recently: “We’ve talked for years about whether to honor a man at Women of the Year and we’ve always kind of put the kabash on it. You know, men get a lot of awards and aren’t exactly hurting in the celebration and honors department. But it started to seem that that might be an outdated way of looking at things, and there are so many men who really are doing wonderful things for women these days. Some men get it and Bono is one of those guys.”

Good on her. For too long have hard working millionaire white men been overlooked for gongs of this type. Hopefully this paves the way for the hideous lack of male representation on Women of the Year lists everywhere to be addressed.
