I've been browsing through several CBC News articles, and I've noticed that whenever the subject of the article involves a couple.....almost every time, they exclusively interview the woman and designate her to speak on behalf of the family. No words from the guy at all.
This is just so annoying and cringeworthy. They're doing it deliberately because they think they're fighting that age old stereotype of the man being the president of the relationship.
Even when they talk about immigrant couples which come from more traditional/patriarchal societies where you just know that it was the man who arranged everything, they still talk to the woman exclusively lol.
If they want to fight that stereotype, at least they can divide up the attention equally? They don't do that. The woman is always the spokesperson.
