This Today FM newsreader brilliantly shut down the 'brave man' who trolled her on Twitter
EARLIER THIS WEEK, Today FM newsreader Susan Keogh was trolled by a gentlemen who told her that she shouldn’t have a baby and a job.
Sound guy.
Rather than leave it go, Keogh decided to pen a powerful open letter in which she addressed the double standards facing working mothers and put the troll back in his box.
“Dear Brave Man,” she writes. “I got your message. The one where you pointed out that if I missed my 4 year old girl so much while I’m in work, then I should just give up my job. Or quit posting pictures of her, at the very least. How had I not thought of that? So helpful.”
She explains that she works to show her daughter that she “can make choices” and pursue whatever kind of path she wishes.
She ends the note by referring to the Big Brave Man in question by his rightful title…

The letter has been liked and shared hundreds of times on Twitter with many commending Keogh for her frank and eloquent take on the topic.
Whoops!

Others, meanwhile, were just amazed that such attitudes could still exist in 2016.
We feel you, girl.
