New Zealand’s Defense Minister Judith Collins has decried what she called misogynistic online comments about the woman commander of a navy ship which ran aground, caught fire and sank off the coast of Samoa on Sunday.
“Seriously, it’s 2024,” Judith Collins told reporters Thursday. “What the hell’s going on here?”
That headline confused me, because I thought this was some new, weird misogyny. Just from the headline, it sounds like they were saying a ship crashed but did not sink, and the reason it didn’t sink id that the ship’s Captain was a woman.

That’s what I thought, too. I thought they were accusing her of being a witch or something. It took me a while to figure it out.
