Letter: Suits you, Tony
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.TONY PARSONS' article "Why Men Leave" (Real Life, 21 February) made me really angry. His premise was that men see that women want it all - so this is what they have started to want themselves. The two idiots (men) that are mentioned are typical of a type of man who has been around since the beginning of time: rich, greedy and expecting to get what they want. This is what they are admired for - particularly by other men because they can get away with it.
The argument rests on the assumption that men and women are fundamentally equal; but men feel superior to women, have more money and power and this idea is so internalised by women that they believe it and support it without realising it. This suits men, and this suits Tony Parsons as this is just another example of men resisting women's attempts to be more equal.
