Men in Lycra

Congratulations to your opinionista Verity Johnson’s juvenile diatribe aimed at ‘‘huffy middle-aged white dudes’’ and their apparent disgust at the current trend for young females’ predilection for the wearing of ‘‘scandalous activewear’’ in public (Butt out – I’ll wear what I like, June 16).

Ms Johnson apparently regards the wearing of said attire as a ‘‘stuff you’’ to society; in particular those of the maleidentifying gender of a certain age being the target of her umbrage.

Au contraire, Verity; I can only applaud your embracing of the Kardashian-inspired ‘‘bootylicious’’ body look, and assume that, in the interests of equality, she supports the wearing of ‘‘gender enhancing’’ male Lycra wear in

the public domain by middle-aged white dudes as their right.

Dave Tame, Christchurch
