The Sunday Times published a column by English journalist Dominic Lawson, elder brother of Nigella, with the headline “The One Sex Change on the NHS [National Health Service] That Nobody Has Been Talking About.” (Yes, really.) In it, Lawson argues that the problems facing Britain’s health care system are the fault of female doctors who prioritize their families over their work. Male doctors, he said, will work longer hours because they’re not as tied down by family, thereby saving the NHS money.

Unsurprisingly, the piece was slammed for its sexist and backward attitude toward gender and the workplace. 

The most powerful response, however, came from the very same community Lawson set his sights on: doctors. Using the hashtag #PinkWednesday, doctors from around England on Wednesday posted selfies wearing pink, often accompanied by messages of encouragement for female doctors.
