Madam, - I understand Sarah Fitzpatrick's sympathy for Donald Clarke (November 18th), but only in so far as I would consider having to review Bridget Jones: The Edge Of Reason an abhorrent task for anybody to have to endure, male or female.
In this age, gender stereotyping such as we see both in this film and in Ms Fitzpatrick's letter surprises and saddens me. It is the supine acceptance and reinforcement of these stereotypes in seemingly insignificant areas that encourage discrimination (against both sexes) - not to mention giving producers a reason for making these asinine films. Give me Alien vs. Predator any day. - Yours, etc.,
