Had a man written such crass generalisations about women as Caitlin Moran did about men, then it would never have been printed in this newspaper (Caitlin Moran: what’s gone wrong for men – and the thing that can fix them, 1 July). Throughout my life, men have always shared problems with me. Only recently, one flew all the way from Sweden to the Netherlands just to help me come to terms with fatherhood, and even in my late teens one school friend shared his problems with me.
Gaby Hinsliff did an excellent job of showing how wrong Caitlin Moran was (No, Caitlin Moran: men do talk about their feelings – and birthday parties, and plaits, 7 July). Her piece was well argued and founded in fact. In short, it was better than I could have managed.
