My good friend Stephanie recently had me over for dinner where, after filling our bellies with delicious lasagna and far too many treats (thank you Suzie Q in Hintonburg), we soon found ourselves several glasses deep in wine. After winding a circuitous route through the news of the day, we ended up musing over the recent ups and downs regarding the portrayal of women in our media.
