When Rice arrived, the room fell nearly silent but for cameras clicking like crickets. She strode in erect and sure, wearing a tan suit, matching pumps and gold earrings.
Can someone tell me why the reporter is talking about her outfit? Reporters don't talk about the suits that men wear; this is an ongoing sexist tradition of taking women leaders and reducing them to how they look and I had thought we were passed this kind of sexist reporting in 2004, especially in the New York Times.
