PACITA ABAD: SHE MADE SO MANY MEN ANGRY 36 YEARS AGO -- AND CHANGED HISTORY

PACITA ABAD: SHE MADE SO MANY MEN ANGRY 36 YEARS AGO -- AND CHANGED HISTORY On this day 36 years ago, Filipino artist PACITA ABAD made a whole lot of people, mostly men, very angry. In 1984, Abad was one of ten recipients for the Ten Outstanding Young Men Awards, a prestigious recognition for young men awarded by the Junior Chamber International Philippines. Before 1984, women were not eligible and no woman was even considered — until Pacita Abad. Today, Google commemorates the day Abad broke through gender barriers with a Google Doodle that pays homage to her distinct style and use of colors.

WASHINGTON — During the Clinton presidency, The New Republic billed itself as the in-flight magazine of Air Force One. Former President Obama loved The Atlantic. President Trump prefers Barstool Sports, the sophomoric, in-your-face sports blog beloved by bros of all stripes. The president — who noted this week that “Nobody likes me” — is always looking for a friendly ear in the media.
