APROPOS ‘Men and their manners’ (Dec 12). The writer has been writing articles out of sheer misandry. She ought to realise that the objective of such writing should be to bring about a positive change rather than create a negative perception about so-called educated woman.

The women in Pakistan have gained far more liberty than the writer thinks, and the women are more empowered than ever. However the statistics unfortunately suggest societal degeneration and collapse of family values with broken marriages as a result of this liberty and empowerment.
