It’s been this way since the inception of the news paper. To sell papers they needed to get people invested in the subjects of the paper. That included giving information about the subject of the articles that other people might relate to. If you’re a mother you’re more likely to be inspired by a mom of 3 who went for a degree in science and ended up becoming a “Trebuchet Master”.
Anyone else find it weird how articles often tend to add the parental status of the subject in the title?
Only if it’s about a mother though.
I guess being a mother is considered an important life achievement, while being a father is not.
