Caitlin Moran is an appalling man-hater. In “How to be a Woman” (2012) she wrote that a baby conceived on holiday (she already had kids by that time) – she and her husband didn’t use contraceptives – was aborted, and was male. Well, good thing it wan’t human, eh? Shame on the Times / Sunday Times for employing her. She’s now 48 but acts as a perpetual teenager. Embarrassing. Mike Buchanan JUSTICE FOR MEN & BOYS

The comment about “perpetual teenager” reminded me about “Sex Change Society ” by Melanie Phillips. Published way back in the late ’90s this was not about sex changes as such, this was way before these became more than a tiny number, but about the negative effects on British society of the ideology of feminism. One of her core points was that the ideology was in fact essentially about teenagers and those clinging on to teenage. Her point being that its essential “it all about me me me” was self evidently dysfunctional once young women sought to form relationships and more so if those relationships were intended to be secure enough to last and more so if they were to be for the care of babies and children. Moran fits Phillip’s characterization of feminists being trapped in perpetual teenager mode. I’m sure her outpourings are music to an audience of similarly middle aged teenagers
