Letter: Who's holding the baby?
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.AS PAUL ARCHER says (Letters, 21 February), the absence of birthing and breast-feeding equality between men and women is unfair. So is the absence of equality between such women's problems as menstruation and menopause, fibroids and prolapse, or cancer of the cervix, uterus, ovary and breast, on one side, and such men's problems as shaving, impotence, cancer of the testicle and prostate, or earlier ageing and death in general, on the other. But, speaking sociologically (and logically) rather than biologically, as Natasha Walter said (14 February): so what?
