This patriarchal inflection of truth, far from occurring in a wildly indeterminate manner, takes place within what is a discursive economy of Otherness where women's experiences are recurrenly effaced, trivialized, or marginalized. This despite the codes of 'objective' reporting which dictate that such evaluations should not take place on the basis of gender; rather, 'the facts must be allowed to speak for themselves.' Significantly, however, the gendered-specificity of these codes is all too often apparent.
My take-
Patriarchal ideas belittle women's experiences, etc.
Objective repororting is based on the idea that gender isn't a factor when looking at facts.
However, these rules of 'objectivity' are blatently gender sepcific.
Therefore, the concept of objectivity is a male dominated idea, despite its claims, and this impacts on how women are presented.
