Sir, - Medb Ruane (October 19th), and Nora Stewart (October 26th), lament the low representation of women at senior levels in our public, private and civic institutions, and seem to attribute it to some sort of male prejudice. But surely the possibility should at least be tabled that too few capable women are in fact interested in senior jobs and/or that there is a shortage of capable women.
Male prejudice is, however, a much easier target for blame.
Perhaps female prejudice explains why so few men breast-feed their infants. - Yours, etc.,
Tony Allwright, Killiney Heath, Killiney, Co Dublin.
