Russian journalist 'back from the dead' and sexist "double standards"

How would you react if a loved one faked their own death? And are there double standards when it comes to sexism?

Authorities in Ukraine have been criticised for faking the murder of a Russian journalist in Kiev.
Arkady Babchenko was found shot dead on Tuesday - but sent shock waves around the world when he arrived at a news conference yesterday, very much alive.
Ukraine now say they faked the killing to protect him from an imminent Russian attack.
How would you react if your loved one faked their own death? Would you forgive them?

And broadcaster Mariella Frostrup has complained of a new 'double standard' allowing women to lust over men without any accusations of sexism.
She says that she can comment on a shot of a shirtless Poldark actor, Aidan Turner - but if men were to leer over female stars in the same way, they would face backlash.Do you agree with Mariella? Are there double standards when it comes to sexism? Is there anything wrong with finding a member of the opposite sex attractive and saying so?
