*[Prominent feminist writer] Caitlin Moran: what's gone wrong for men – and the thing that can fix them.*

I would not try to compare how bad today's society is for men with how it is for women. It seems to be pretty bad for both — partly because men and women are being pushed into penury by plutocracy, and into horrible social relations by anti-social media.

Thank you Ms Moran. I hope society finds a way out of this sad gender relations trap.
