Thank you, Caitlin Moran: men’s wellbeing needs a lot more attention

“Finally!” I cried, when I read Caitlin Moran’s article on whether feminism can help to save men as well as women (Caitlin Moran: what’s gone wrong for men – and the thing that can fix them, 1 July).

For many, including council housing administrators, I’m a bloke with no worries because I’m heterosexual, white and middle‑aged. On paper, yes. Off paper, I’m a 5ft-eff-all welfare recipient, still pandemically pudgy, often with pink hair and always emerald green toenails. To some I’m obviously gay or confused (yes, but that’s ADHD and I’m still waiting for new meds requested a year ago).
