Letter: All right Polly, I can take a hint
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: Polly Toynbee ("Where do all the New Men go?", 2 September) may well be right in her underlying thesis, adhered to by a great many women: men are worthless.
Since men are worthless, they should be dispensed with. Step One is a euthanasia programme for all adult males, except only those 1 in 25 or so who - after DNA testing based on results from the Human Genome Project - may qualify as having a genetic make-up socially worth passing on. Step Two is to apply the DNA test to all new-born males.
Personally, having sired a brainy daughter and being hardly economically productive, I should be happy to volunteer for euthanasia. The only problem is, my wife and daughter would miss me. Yes, honestly.
