Madam, - Why does Kate Holmquist (Magazine, October 28th) think that men born in the late 1950s fear women who are "shameless, demanding, and more beautiful with each passing year"? With the possible exception of the "shameless" bit, isn't that the sort of woman that most of us (though I was born in the early 1950s) are married to? And we love them for it and tell them so. - Yours, etc,
TOM FARRELL, Swords, Co Dublin.
