First came the vile messages, and they came thick and fast -- sexist, disturbing and damaging comments posted below a now iconic picture of Harris doing her job. With one tweet Harris had made a lasting impression in the usually transitory world of social media, while the photograph is now a symbol of defiance. "If my example is going to help someone in any way, I would be happy to go through it all again.

Culture secretary Maria Miller has attacked the BBC over its sexist Wimbledon coverage, and said that she is to boycott the Open golf championship because it is being held at the Muirfield club, which refuses to admit women members.
Miller has written a scathing letter to Tony Hall, the director general of the BBC, demanding to know "any further action is likely to be taken" over Wimbledon commentator John Inverdale's sexist comments. Inverdale provoked outrage when he said that women's champion Marion Bartoli was "never going to be a looker, you'll never be a Sharapova so you have to be scrappy and fight? ", prompting more than 700 complaints to the BBC. Miller, who is also minister for women and equalities, said that she is particularly concerned about the BBC incident as she has identified increased coverage of women's sport as a top priority.
