A haunting piece broadcast very recently by Channel 4 News, not a programme with a reputation for showing much concern for men, to put it mildly:

Would the authorities ever treat an elderly woman with Alzheimer’s Syndrome so inhumanely? The question hardly needs to be asked, the answer’s so obvious. Men are officially treated as sub-human in Britain today – even when they’re not British, as in this tragic case. The same is true for men in many countries, and unless we act – and act soon – things are surely going to get even worse. And that’s why you should make it to the Detroit conference (27/28 June) if you possibly can. I hope to meet you there. It’s going to be a landmark event – Mike Buchanan
