Speak up for men

POLITICAL correctness does, indeed, give great support to women’s rights but little, if any, for those of men (Letters).

Chauvinist is too often defined as men who dislike women when, in fact, it is a gender neutral word that equally may be applied to feminists, though it never appears to be. A supporter of men’s rights is, believe it or not, a manist.

BOBBY MEYNELL, Stockton-on-Tees, Co. Durham. THE equivalent word for misogynist (Letters) is misandrist. I know this because I work with lots of women!

IAN RUFFELL, Bournemouth, Dorset. I WOULD place bets on the misogynists far outnumbering their female counterparts. Women have more sense than to obsess about such matters. ELIZABETH HUTCHINGS, Littlehampton, W. Sussex.
