UK: Why must every man on TV today be a monster?

Article here. Excerpt:

'At my home there’s a shelf of books three metres long (I kid you not) stuffed with books about feminism, women’s history and related subjects.

I even have the first British edition (1971) of Valerie Solanas’s charming little classic: ‘SCUM (Society for Cutting Up Men) Manifesto. So, I’ve always counted myself a 1960s feminist — with countless articles and public debates to prove it.

Why, then, do I feel so disturbed about the new wave of man-hating pervading our TV screens that seems to be engulfing my sex?

It seems you can’t turn on the television without encountering women victimised by men, psychologically as well as physically.

Sunday-night viewing, which used to be the home for family friendly favourites, now seems to be dominated by domestic dystopia.'
