Confusing
Sir: I find your medical correspondent's latest articji: confusing. He says that any change in male-fora-15 relationships in our society leads to stress, whie,h, s probably true. He also says that these relations'Id -are genetically based, which may be true; but! vOtt° have thought that this is still a matter for content°1; More confusing is his claim that equal -icip opportunities for women have forced large man' n, of wives (I assume that in the second half of his aroc10 he means 'wives' where he uses 'women')-to go °Id, work. Surely he means 'enabled' rather than 'fore And what surious circumstances leads us to ens'a,ne people by emancipating them and giving them choice of working or not? „ ,irve If large numbers of wives are going out to fu" `hat work it must be (i) because they have made,t-rce choice and (ii) because without them our work would not be large enough for our present neeusdal In which case we must choose between inat`c-es goods and stress. If the former then this to Discrimination Act may help women of abiliff tYto obtain jobs which were previously denied their. latter this Act may do the same for the unmarflot women in our society. In either case society eartrlan demand that men and women adopt new rolesIt c
only make it possible. The Act may do this. rt'ett Colin Ba 9 Roslin Road, Bournemouth.
