Bono (U2) is "Glamour"'s first "Man of the Year"

"Glamour" magazine just awarded Bono (U2 frontman) with its "Woman of the Year" title - so, for the first time, it's "Man of thr Year".

The magazine's staff explained:

For the first time, the awards also honor a man. For years our Women of the Year Advisory Board—made up of past winners, plus our editors—has put the kibosh on naming a Man of the Year on the grounds that men aren’t exactly hurting for awards in this world, and that here at Glamour, the tribe we’re into celebrating is female. But these days most women want men—no, need men—in our tribe…

Bono’s "Poverty Is Sexist" campaign is one of the major reasons for the award, they added:

Bono has created Poverty Is Sexist, a campaign specifically aimed at helping the world’s poorest women—those who survive on less than $2 a day. The campaign’s first order of business: to document a clear link between poverty and gender, and send that data to every president and prime minister in the world.
