It is never an easy task to predict award winners. Who could have guessed that Bob Dylan would end up with the Nobel Prize for literature? How was anyone to know that Shakespeare in Love would beat Saving Private Ryan to win the 1998 Oscar for Best Picture?

But when it comes to an award called 'Women of the Year', you would have thought you’d be safe in predicting that the winners would be, well, women.

You would be wrong.

Glamour magazine has defied tradition and common sense in selecting “inspiring women from across the worlds of fashion, politics, entertainment, sports, and activism” - because one of their 10 winners is Bono. AKA the 56-old rock star, co-founder of ONE (the organisation that helped give life-saving AIDS drugs to millions in Africa), creator of Poverty Is Sexist (which helps the world’s poorest women) and undeniable man.

There is no doubt that Bono is a do-gooder. His humanitarian work is more impressive than most of the Royal Family’s, his efforts have raised billions of dollars to help women around the world, and he single-handedly forced Apple users across the world to listen to his album by infiltrating their iPhones.

But is he really worthy to win a Woman of the Year award?
