For years men talked at us, not just on the radio | Jane & Fi answer reader's letters

So, to counteract disrespectful behaviour by some men, you are happy to.... engage in the same disrespectful behaviour? Seems legit.

If you don’t hate men, do not generalize by using the word “men” as a generalization in such talks.

Nice not being lectured to. Wonderful conversation

"The Churnups" at 6:45 (Caroline). That made me laugh. The band's front man -Dave Grohl - had a beach house in Mandalay Bay near the Red Hot Chili Peppers soundman's house. Surfers lol

Enjoyed your podcast and it's the first time I have heard you. I hope to hear you again. I would like to say that people speaking badly about men or women in private is unacceptable. People speaking badly in the media about men or women is the same thing on steroids and doubly unacceptable. Be nice and spread good behaviour people and be wise.

Used to enjoy listening to your BBC podcast. This morning came across your Times show, and having just said that during election period you can't promote political parties etc, you both then rubbished the Reform UK party - currently polling at around 20% of the British electorate, on a par with the Conservative party. By all means disagree with their policies, but don't look down on the significant number of people who support them. Just because you THINK that you are more intelligent, knowledgeable, and educated than other people doesn't make it so. Some of the biggest aholes that I have known, fall into that category!

I don’t disagree actually

Good chance "Allen" is Muslim if he lives in the "stans." So, if that's the case, what is his understanding of "a woman's place"? Is it "thank God I was not made a dog or a woman"? Just wondering. Not all Muslims believe this, but some do.

It was more talking down to than at.

Reading through some of the typical and expected comments on here from males about Jane and Fi, we have a long way to go yet ladies, and even though I am older than you , it will not be in my lifetime that those attitudes will change I fear, slow progress, (or even my 23 year old grand daughter's life come to that). Enjoy listening to you every day, and even take my pocket dab radio and earphones with me to listen to you both, when I walk my dog in the afternoons....you cheer me up and make me laugh alot, plus you are entertaining and interesting every time.

I keep noticing that people in the woman's hour sphere always refer to men as males. It's really creepy, cut it out like really what is wrong with you.

[@davidcahill7719]

Two of the smugest, most patronising and condescending presenters in broadcasting. Can't stand their know it all attitude and switch off Times radio when they are on.

[@gavinmc5285]

men are on pause. period.
