Sadly the agreeable egalitarianism of yesterday's letters page didn't last:


Today's topics:


In a way we can take a positive message from this, though, because it's clear that a lot of men are writing about issues that might (wrongly) be identified as 'female' areas of interest, e.g. education, social care, environmentalism.

It would be nice to see more women's letters about issues that are (wrongly) identified as 'male', such as politics, defence, business, rock music, science, sport, technology and a hundred other things I'm sure you can think of. Then perhaps these false distinctions would begin to fade from our collective subconscious.
