Sir, - I agree completely with Helen Kearney (May 15th). And it is not only in advertising where men are becoming increasingly ridiculed and degraded. If TV shows such as Sex and the City degraded women as much as they degrade, insult and ridicule men, there would be a public outcry. Of course, the reason there is no outcry from men is that they would be seen as whining babies. And who would listen to their complaints anyway? - Yours, etc.,
