LONDON -- Glamourmagazine,Watch Black Panther Online in a move that's incited controversy, has for the first time listed a man on its "women of the year" list. That man is U2 lead vocalist, Bono.
And people are a tadconfused, because... Bono?
Yeah, not a woman.
The annual list recognizes influential women worldwide and 2016's includes the likes of Gwen Stefani, Simon Biles, and Zendaya.
And, Bono.
The magazine included the Irish singer-songwriter on the list because of his efforts to raise awareness for the gendered nature of poverty.
In the article, Glamourjustifies its decision by asserting the need to include men in gender issues:
Plus, 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, needmen—in our tribe.
However, the online reaction has been less than supportive:

According to the BBC, Bono has responded by saying he is "sure he didn't deserve it," but was "grateful" for the honour nonetheless. He further said men were "largely responsible for the problem, so we have to be involved in the solutions."
But should they get an award for it? The internet seems to think not.
