I first heard of Mireya Mayor when she was in an awesome series called "Expedition Africa," Being a history buff, I couldn't wait for this show to air. It was amazing! I highly suggest watching this series on video if you can! Not too long after that, I came across Mireya on Twitter and decided she would be fun to follow. She is entertaining, a fountain of knowledge, and a good person besides.
I was really looking forward to watching "Wild Nights," which is Mireya's new series for National Geographic's new Wild cable station. In the meantime (I wasn't able to watch until the midnight showing.) I saw Jes Alexander's OP ED on Herald de Paris, which she wrote after Tom Conroy completely freaking skewered Mireya in an article that can only be described as a sexist rant written by a man who shrinks into a corner when confronted by a beautiful woman - even one he only sees on T.V. (Conroy seems to pursue his writing career by making what he thinks is snarky fun of whoever he is writing about. Note to Tom - this only ever works if you are actually funny. You are not.)
Poor Tom even makes fun of Mireya for dressing appropriately - "But throughout the show she wears a wool cap and drab clothes that just beg us to take her seriously" Um, no dumbass, she dresses for the job she's doing - and she looks great. And by the way, I've seen more wildlife in urban areas than in the woods. Sorry you're too scared of the boogey man to go outside at night.
So without further ado, for your consistently ridiculous prose, your mean streak, your bad attitude, etc. You sir, are a douchebag.
