Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Sir: Dr Adrian Coyle, a psychologist, wonders what happens when men lay hands on feminine status (letter, 8 March), I can tell him.

Fifty years ago all nurses were women. Today 7 per cent of nurses are men. Yet 48 per cent of top nursing posts are held by men. What does one make of this?

Feminists can scream about a glass ceiling, unfairness to women, a conspiracy theory and so on. Psychologists can argue the male/female roles ad nauseam. To my mind it demonstrates one thing only: the vast majority of women want and need to be dominated by men, and feminists are simply wasting their time.
