That headline confused me, because I thought this was some new, weird misogyny. Just from the headline, it sounds like they were saying a ship crashed but did not sink, and the reason it didn't sink id that the ship's Captain was a woman.

That's what I thought, too. I thought they were accusing her of being a witch or something. It took me a while to figure it out.
