Review of the article Women’s work from home- online harassment

 

Half of the appeal of an article lies in its title, and this article’s title would score not more than 5 on a scale of 1 to 10. I chose to read it not because I liked the title, but because I found the context very relatable. The context was spot on, but the content was a little off the mark. 

Quoting news and data right in the beginning is a very smart move for a writer. Also, the stories (maybe real-life incidents with fake names or imagined scenarios) add an extra layer of interest to the article. 

However, the images with the article seem to overpower the written content. And ‘lurking’ comments is wrong English. People pass lewd comments or sarcastic comments or dirty comments or hilarious comments, never ‘lurking comments’. Disappointed here, I must say. In the same paragraph, the next sentence, ‘meetings on odd hours’ is again wrong, the correct way to write is ‘meetings at odd hours’.

I could point out many such flaws, but I now want to express my opinion about the crux of the matter, and I have to say that the writer could have done a much better job of it, given that the issue is so pertinent and is an excellent subject to write about in the current scenario. 

Please assign such topics to more experienced writers who have a better grip on the language and do some research when they put together such pieces.
