Papers alter Israel cabinet photo removing two female ministers
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/7982146.stm

Two ultra-Orthodox Jewish newspapers have altered a photo of Israel's new cabinet, removing two female ministers.

Limor Livnat and Sofa Landver were grouped with the rest of the 30-member cabinet for their inaugural photo.

But Yated Neeman newspaper digitally changed the picture by replacing them with two men. The Shaa Tova newspaper blacked the women out.

1. Isn't that just about as macho and discriminatory as it gets.

2. That's really bad and tacky
Do they think women in power will just "go away" if they don't show their photos? What did these papers do when Golda Meier was PM?
