In case anyone is confused about the definition of the term "micro-aggression," this headline from Postmedia should clear things up:

We expect this kind of casual misogyny from our right wing politicians but from a newspaper? This is shameful. #ableg pic.twitter.com/HH37CSuM6f

No, this isn't a headline placed on a story about weight loss or dieting. It's one about the Alberta government's ongoing work to reduce health procedure wait times.

The headline, combined with a pull quote next to a picture of Health Minister Sarah Hoffman, is "spectacularly insulting" and a form of "casual misogyny," according to critics on social media.

The headline riffs the name of Weight Watchers, a company that specializes in weight loss products and services.

The headline appeared on the article in a print edition of Calgary Sun earlier this week. Online, a different version ran: "NDP vow to cut wait times a work in progress."

Editor Jose Rodriguez took to Twitter to apologize Wednesday, conceding the print version was a"mistake" and a "poor attempt at a pun."
