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.Step by step, men are learning to discuss their feelings with wives and lovers, show love for their children -even to listen more than they talk. All in all, they are learning to become more human - or at least more like women, which is nearly the same thing. But a sensible view of their physical well-being seems beyond them, poor mites.
Eight out of 10 readers of Men's Health magazine admitted to health worries - but they seem unable to talk to their GPs. Whatever the reason, they should get down to the business of staying well. Dodging doctors ends in tears, ruined relationships and even death. Ailing men should spare a thought for the women who will end up nursing them (or missing them), and get fit.
