It was not so long ago that those editors (and many still even) would simply toss such letters in the "circular file," attributing them to the hatred of "angry white males."

12/22/01 BC comic strip by Johnny Hart
Picture of 'The Fat Broad reading a letter:
"Dear Miss Know-It-All, I am the mother of 6 kids and my ex-husband is a deadbeat dad. Yet, in this special season of love and merriment I fel obliged to send him something. What do you think? - flustered."
Her response: "Dear Flustered, I agree. Why don't you have your IQ notarized and just send him that?"

Give him an earful!

Newspapers will print what attracts readers. Their priority is profits.
Over time, letters such as these will let them know that anti-male bigotry is no longer acceptable to a portion of their readers. When they think that misandry is no longer profitable content, they will cease to print it.
The more letters that are submitted, the faster the change will occur.
It seems to me that misandry as "cool" content in the media began in a big way with the "Sonny and Cher Show." The long-running popularity of "All in the Family" cemented the form as highly profitable content.
It's time to let them know that it's no longer "cool,""hip," or "sophisticated." It's just bigotry, and it's wrong.

Actually, we print articles to attract readers. We print letters to allow readers a forum in which to respond to those articles. The reason newspapers didn't want to run letters sticking up for men (until very recently) was because they were afraid of offending women.
