Article Information
| Background | A horribly offensive new steak joint was coming to Ottawa. |
| Reason | The restaurant's advertising was explicitly misogynist and got people talking. Naturally, they needed a killjoy feminist to comment as well. |
| Comment | I was pleasantly surprised to see that most of the online comments to the article were against the advertising. It's nice to see that sometimes, the buzzkill feminist is actually stating a popular opinion! |
| Outcome | The restaurant has opened so it is yet to be seen how long it will stay open or whether there will be met with more criticism. |
