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: Your article just goes to show that women are inefficient and lazy. It takes me less than one hour per week to put the dishes in the dishwasher and get them out again (as opposed to 5.7), under two hours a week to cook (12.2) and about 25 minutes to bung the washing in the washing machine and then in the dryer, as opposed to the staggering 560 minutes that a woman would take to do the same job. The figures speak for themselves.

Yours faithfully,

DAVID KNELL
