About the book
"Although I am the last person on this shaky planet to dream of being cast in the non-bleating role of a sacrificial lamb sandwiched between the choppers of the Machos and Amazons, I do realise that I am on more than delicate ground with a subject such as this. But the time does seem to come for excercising the de-sexerciser or, at least, for having a second look at some of the more sombre sexist crannies of the English language."
