| A Hasidic newspaper has come under fire for removing images of women, among them female world leaders, from the photo chronicling Sunday, January 11\'s historic march across Paris expressing solidarity after the Charlie Hebdo massacre.
JoeMyGod reports that despite the fact that there were more than 40 world leaders present, "you\'d believe that none of them were women" after reading the article and seeing the photo on the front page of Israeli Haredi newspaper The Announcer, originally provided by the wire service GPO.
The article identified that one woman\'s face was blurred out, as well as missing leaders Denmark Prime Minister Helle Thorning-Schmidt and German Chancellor Angela Merkel. Oh hell no; Merkel don\'t play that!

Mediaite later amended the article to reveal that it was not Demark\'s PM that was cropped out, but a puffy coat-wearing Federica Mogherini, the High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy.
"She\'s an extremely important figure in European politics -- her position places her in charge of the EU\'s foreign policy -- but she\'s still a woman, so no, she doesn\'t get to be in the photo," wrote Mediate, adding, "Merkel is still missing, please let us know if you find her."
They even made a possible identification for the blurred-out photo, saying it might be "Swiss President Simonetta Sommaruga, whose face can be seen in the original photo but is missing from the edited image."
The article pointed to the fact that this misogyny even trumped religious animosity, as, "Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas is still in the photograph, Photoshopped standing right next to French president Francois Hollande, and one person away from Israeli prime minister and frenemy Benjamin Netanyahu."
Mediaite also castigated the publication for its sloppy Photoshop efforts, saying "We have seen quite a few shops in our time, but this photo manipulation is pretty sloppy, if you know what to look for. Here are five clear giveaways:
1: Discoloration of man\'s face
2: World leader wearing a leather glove on one hand and no glove on the other hand
3: Mysterious hand of Federica Mogherini
4: Blurry face of man standing behind where Merkel used to be
5: Uh...that\'s not a Photoshop, that\'s a monster."
Good to know that an underlying, widespread disregard for half the human race still trumps the hatred of homicidal terrorists.
