        pardon? Are you objecting to her quotes or the story altogether? Point is as the headline says: tough but without nuance

        Your story is good! Felt like original front headline played into stereotype of wow-women-heels-tough. (Which didn't seem focus of yr piece)

        Refers to quote: “I wear heels, but it’s not a fashion statement,” she said. “It’s because if I see something wrong, I’m gonna kick ’em ..."

        Problem isn't the story, it's the headline, which reinforces sexist tropes by emphasizing a tiny part of the story. Story isn't bad.

        Isn't she required by cliché to do it *backwards* in heels? I thought that was one of the rules...

        I almost threw the laptop across the room when I saw this earlier. Washington Post should be better than this.

        Reading the article is helpful...this is a reference to a line in a speech she gave. SHE referenced wearing heels.

        Then quotations shld've been used. 4th grade grammar stuff. Also, there wasn't any other quote to use as a headline? Amateur hour at WaPo.

        Cmon. It's a clever play on her novel words in a headline, where brevity is required. Read the article and you'll get it.

        Why is it OK for people to talk about Trudeau's looks?

        With Trudeau, his looks seen as an aside. Haley piece insinuates her "heels" are a surprising feature to her getting the job done.
