This type of comment is all too common across The Guardian to the point that it is almost editorial policy. It's a real shame as The Guardian is one of the better major papers out there in my opinion. I just wish they could face the fact that they have a real problem with this type of snide anti-male remark.
- colanderman 9y agoTo be fair I'm not sure whether the quoted sentence is saying fathers, or the books targeted at them, should be given no attention. I read it as referring to the books; otherwise it's a really weird circumlocution.
- tmnvix 9y agoI read it to mean the books, but I still see this as a problem. It's the dismissive attitude towards something that concerns men. If you read enough of The Guardian you can't help but think that this dismissiveness is because it concerns men. If they were genuinely interested, they would have found plenty of titles. I really don't want to come across as a "what about us men?" type, but I resent that The Guardian - a paper I once loved - seems to be making a concerted effort to turn me into exactly that sort. It's so incredibly at odds with their feminist/gender equalitarian agenda that I can only assume that they do this to provoke outrage and generate clicks. You only have to read the comments to see that they do a good job of provoking many of their readers. Anyhow, this is getting a long way off topic.
