I agree completely, and normally we'd edit that out, but having read the article, I don't think it's that fair to do so. That's why I added the extra information after it—in the hope of cooling down the dreaded title fever.
The crazy thing is: it's got a question mark, in the fucking headline. There's a question mark in the fucking headline.
Can people not just go "erm... no?" internally, when the question offends them?
Truly we are lost.
EDIT: Perhaps downvoters are assuming that while the headline actually reads "Was Shakespeare a woman?", it could instead read something else. And, yes, that is true. There is a huge number of possible combinations of letters that could occur in a headline, even if we ignore the meaningless ones. But I am restricting myself, perhaps unreasonably, to considering the headline that is actually there.
Edit: I give in.
