Another case of the media suppressing gender

So here we have the case of a pregnant woman who had boiling soup thrown on her, but the media takes until the fourth paragraph (including the headline) to mention that the 'customer' that assaulted the pregnant woman was, in fact, a woman.

It's really bad when the media just refers to the perpetrator multiple times as simply "the customer" when they would have mentioned it in the headline had the perpetrator been male.
