Great. I hope this keeps happening. Especially for media outlets that have lots of women on their staff. Because I can guarantee you they get harassed far more than their male staffers. I understand safety concerns but stop giving into these fedoras jfc.

I'm actually pretty impressed by this.

[joaniemaloney]
