Now I don't want to be accused of being the equivalent of a feminist McCarthyite...however, I was just catching up on Men's Hour and I have noticed a difference.

BBC Radio 4's Women's Hour is available via iPlayer for one year.

BBC Radio 5's Men's Hour is available via iPlayer for seven days.

Plus of course Women's Hour is six days per week all the time, whilst Men's Hour is once a week but not all the time. Though at least there is a Men's Hour when until about three years ago there was no such thing.

Anyhow, so here we have it, anyone wanting to listen to Women's Hour can do so for a year but you have to rush to hear Men's Hour.

The reason for mentioning McCarthyism is because there is always the risk of becoming over-paranoid like so many of today's modern-day feminists who see discrimination lurking in every shadow.

However, this is clearly a case of that unthinking day to day discrimination and misandry that men face.

Why does the BBC think Women's Hour should be one year but Men's Hour is only worthy of 1/52nd of the time. Covert unthinking discrimination against men that's why.

Time to complain to the BBC Trust.

PS At least with Women's Hour we can hear for a whole year the desperate voices of an 'academic' and Refuge trying to drown out male victims of domestic abuse
