Well, there's no silly hairdo in evidence but there is one ginormous whopper making himself known. Again.
But it's easy to see why Jeez likes that article, it's a heady, belicose mix of unsubstantiated self-proclaimed trusims mixed with a small kernel of easily defensible moral (domestic violence is bad, no shit) that means attacking the slovenly journalism is akin to excusing the supposed subject of debate.
Much like the admirer in question, it's a baffling, ill thought out and poorly articulated way of tagging some kind of 'serious' debate onto what was already an over-hyped, laughable excuse for sensationalistic 'news' that is held up as some kind of blueprint of how the media responds to female on male violence. And in true Graun style, even this modest argument can only be achieved by making it as self-referential as possible, even if this risks defeating whatever serious objective it might have had, by suggesting that it's normal for women to go through a phase of drunkenly belting whomever they choose on a night out.
In short, it's a steaming bucket of shit journalism that someone's tried to make passable by dangling a magic tree air freshener over it in the hope that cretins like Jeez take the bit in their mouth and get indignant on the behalf of all the women who aren't complaining.
