Letter published here. Excerpt:
"The message is clear - men have improved a little, but still don't do enough, and women are still getting a raw deal.
This is an unfair distortion because it disregards the fact that men are usually their family's primary breadwinners, and often make great sacrifices in that role.
...
In the home, men generally do the more dangerous work such as fixing the broken roof tiles or fixing the plumbing, yet this is never included in the definition of housework - why?
Because it would reflect the reality that men do perform a lot more than the media wants to pretend we do - in order to please certain hostile groups with a clear agenda to demonise one sex in preference of the other. This man bashing is known as misandry.
This is the male variant of misogyny - a hatred of men, and is perpetuated in part by the media with its endless adverts filled with dumb, stupid husbands and reports which forget' to include various factors. It is high time men stood up for themselves and demanded to be treated fairly by the media."
