At writing class yesterday, when we were all reading out our homework, one of the men read a piece where two men were talking in the pub, one was describing his relationship with his in-laws, and said ‘It puts a strain on our marriage.’ I had to ask: do men really talk like that to one another? I was upbraided, in a jokey way, by the tutor (female), who said that some men do, and obviously the men in our group are particularly sensitive because they are writers, and I apologised for being sexist. But later in the story the character was plotting to murder his wife and in-laws for their money - now that's REALLY sensitive
