Letter: Just one more glass, hic, and men will be wonderful
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.I ENJOYED your feature 'Who's who in the sex war' (Real Life, 27 September). However, I think there must have been a mistake in the graph taken from Robert Llewellyn's new book, The Reconstructed Heart.
The rationale for this graph is that when women drink wine they start to believe that all men are bastards. Mr Llewellyn tries to assess the amount of alcohol required to achieve this realisation.
Surely this is the wrong way round. When I am quite sober I know that all men are bastards, but after a few glasses of wine the picture begins to look a little rosier. By the time I have drunk 10 glasses of wine I am perfectly convinced that all men are kind, considerate members of the human race and that their prolonged company is wholly acceptable.
