Interesting article in yesterday's Observer about masculinity, arguing that men are 'depressed, repressed and objectified' following reports that their libidos are waning, they are becoming more obsessed with their outward appearance and they are now considered non-essential to parenting. However, it follows an article in the Guardian last month that notes a backlash against feminism commenting that 'the sex industry is booming, the rape conviction rate is plummeting, women's bodies are picked over in the media, abortion rights are under serious threat and top business leaders say they don't want to employ women.'
So who's having a worse time - men or women? It shouldn't be a competition, but how do you react to stories like these?
