Letter: Women at work
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.Sir: I thank Suzanne Moore ("Danger: women at work", 26 June) for her permission, but if I, a man, were to "strut around the office in skimpy T-shirts and shorts" I would at best be a figure of mirth. But a woman doing the same has a serious impact, and this shows either a wish to manipulate or a complete disregard of the feelings of the opposite sex.
Men and women have different body images, hormonal balances and biological imperatives. Perhaps, by trying to counter these differences, we don't create a fairer world - only a more confused and unhappy one.
