New York Times slammed by female senators for 'sexist' focus on Kyrsten Sinema's style
Fox News
Three female senators came to the defense of their colleague Kyrsten Sinema, D-Ariz., over the New York Times' "sexist" coverage of her appearance.
The first, titled "Kyrsten Sinema’s Style Keeps Us Guessing," was written Oct. 18 by Times fashion critic Vanessa Friedman. The other three, penned from Oct. 29-Nov. 12 by Times opinion writer Tressie McMillan Cottom, had the headlines, "Why We Should Talk About What Kyrsten Sinema Is Wearing," "Kyrsten Sinema and the Politics of a Sleeveless Silhouette" and "How Kyrsten Sinema Uses Clothing to Signal Her Social Class."
"The Times has published four separate pieces analyzing the style and dress of our colleague Senator Kyrsten Sinema," the senators wrote. "We cannot imagine The Times printing similar pieces on the fashion choices of any of our male colleagues."
