Is Yahoo! News guilty of gender bias?

This ABC video clip featured on Yahoo's home page today is about male birth control. But Yahoo! News titled it "Can Men Be Trusted to Take the Pill". Instead of showing men excited about finally having their own pill, they interview women saying they wouldn't trust men with it.

Is this wrong? Would women be outraged if they introduced new types of female b/c (like the patch) by interviewing men who say they don't trust women to use it?

Is Yahoo! News guilty of gender bias?
Yes,we can say that because the fact is today thhings are totaly in contrast compare to a decade ago. Few years ago men were labeled sexist but now men need a gender equality movement.Women rights activists are turning into hardliner sexist who hate men.
Reply:NO





It just shows that they select controversial views from the people they film to air, rather than use those woman that said they did trust men.





It's all about ratings and getting in advertisers
Reply:Gender Bias: Behavior that results from the underlying belief in sex role stereotypes.





I would say No. I can't speak for women in general, but some men don't trust a women is "on the pill" and would use a condom anyway.





Combine viagra with male birth control and you take care of two problems at once.
