For every minimum act of governance there is maximal rhetoric. As a newspaper ombudsman, my concern is that the ugly side of masculinity is undermining women journalists from doing their job. But it misses no opportunity to move against women journalists who seek accountability from the ruling regime. Women journalists do not feel secure even in the virtual space. The term ‘presstitute’, popularised by a sitting Minister, is not only an insult but a call to instigate violence against women journalists.
