Machismo might be back in vogue, but boys are as frightened as ever

1 day ago | aol.co.uk | Jemima Lewis

Fashion, famously, is a reflection of the zeitgeist. And the cover of this month’s GQ magazine certainly captures the present mood. It features a grizzled, muscle-bound Brad Pitt leaning back against a wall, legs spread, glowering from under a fisherman’s beanie with a look of murderous intent. Inside, there’s plenty more of this real-man aesthetic.

There’s more to university than the promise of a well-paid job

When I was 18, doggedly indolent and on course to fail all my A-levels, my father staged an intervention. Lowering himself onto his knees before me like a supplicant monk, he knitted his hands together in prayer. “All you have to do,” he begged, “is enough revision to scrape through these exams. And then you can spend three years at university doing absolutely nothing.”It was a brilliantly effective pep talk at the time. But no part of it rings true today.

If we don’t read to boys, no wonder men don’t love books

A new independent publisher is to champion books written by men, and I have nothing snarky to say about that. It is undeniably true that literary fiction is now dominated by women, both on the bookshelves and behind the scenes (78 per cent of editorial roles in publishing are held by women). Jude Cook, the writer and critic who is launching Conduit Books, says he wants to give a platform to “overlooked narratives” by and about men.

A secret women kept for a long time: We’re good at keeping secrets

If I had a terrible secret, you know who I wouldn’t tell? A man. They mean well, poor things, but they leak like Thames Water. Don’t take it from me: this is official MI5 guidance. Or at least it was in 1945, when Charles Henry Maxwell Knight – the spymaster thought to have inspired “M” in the James Bond books – recommended that the secret services should employ more women.

If Paddington is all English values amount to, we’re really in trouble

Paddington Bear statue stolen from Newbury in a police car after it was recoveredNow look, I have nothing against Paddington Bear. But if I did, just hypothetically, would it change my moral standing in the world? Would it cast my failings in a new and sinister light? Would it indicate, even, a nascent treachery against the values of my country? I submit, your honour, that it would not.
