Is This Headline Insulting

I have not read the article so I can not comment about the context, but regardless of the context, I think the use of the inverted commas is insulting. Your thoughts?

The Sowetan is a daily tabloid newspaper in Johannesburg.

About the author

daniellaargento

I am just your average happily married and monogamous semi closeted male to female transgender person. I am very private and discreet, some may even say shy. My interests include international affairs,current affairs, history, economics, investments, physics, and literature My interest in biology is pretty much limited to sex. Fantasy and science fiction is most enjoyable as is Lee Child. I am a big fan of art house cinema. My musical tastes include punk, new age, heavy metal, classic rock, hard rock, reggae, ska, world music (particularly African contemporary), baroque, medieval, classical, romantic and some country. Opera is best avoided. I play air guitar to beginner level and the fool. I sing in tune at least once in an octave. I am broad minded I love to cook.

    This can be read many ways. With out the story, I personally don’t take it to offense yet. Though it would be easy to.

    Tabloid. I might have be concerned if it said she wants to be a colander.

    It’s a tough one, the inverted commas are a tad unnecessary
