Yesterday, human rights lawyer Amal Clooney addressed the United Nations, giving an impassioned speech against the genocide being committed by ISIS and calling on the U.N. and the Iraqi government to bring ISIS to justice.
Here was TIME’s takeaway, inspired by People:

Just take a step back and consider this headline. Is that really what you think of women?

She was there at hearings on genocide, which is her *job*. Could you be more patronizing and vapid if you tried?

Oh good. I'm glad you focused on the important things and not like her discussing genocide and human rights and what not. ?
— Lo Mayne (@LoMayne) March 9, 2017
Yes, thats whats important. Not her actual purpose in being there. Good grief.

You spelled "Badass human rights lawyer gives speech at UN to urge investigation on possible genocide by ISIS" wrong

Shame on you. You demean Amal and her mission with this shallow headline. When are you going to take a professional woman seriously?
— Maria Swanson (@ZezeSwanson) March 9, 2017
Really? She is an accomplished human rights advocate at the UN on business and You comment on her appearance?
— Anne Stalfort (@astalfort) March 10, 2017
This is pathetic. She gave a powerful speech on an important issue and TIME is vacuously commenting on her appearance? SEXIST MUCH?

I can't believe how the media has downplayed her accomplishments as a lawyer and have just made her Mrs. Clooney.
— Renata Klein’s Wardrobe (@rebellecoeur) March 9, 2017
your tweet is absolutely blind to the importance of Amal's reason for being at the UN and an insult to women. I expect more from Time

is it any wonder that your publication is increasingly irrelevant? This turns a serious issue/person into clickbait garbage.

Well, at least TIME acknowledged that Clooney is pregnant with babies and not blobs of cells. So that’s something …
