Stop. Please, for the love of God, just stop it.

I've done my best to avoid #jacketgate over the past few days, but there has been something about it that has been really niggling away at me.

The fervour and vigour of the response to the Nine News leaked footage has been an absolutely fantastic display of women-hating. Good job everyone, well done, a round of applause to you all. It's nice to see that in 2017 belittling women in the workplace, or in any place, is still defiantly loud and proud.

Yes, it's funny, and wipes the veneer off the smiley, groomed, white-teeth sheen of TV reporting. But there's something very, very sinister about the glee with which this story has been embraced. The story is demeaning, belittling and amounts to a display of dangerously insidious misogyny. It's vile.
