Ìý Man about the house 3ÌýJuneÌý2004 Ìý
Do we still expectÌýmen to doÌýthe DIY because they are male?

Feminism may have released women from the kitchen, but did it also liberate men from the toolshed?

A new book called the Lost Art of Being a Man is being marketed as the book that will help men impress the lady in their lives by showing them how to deal with household tasksÌýsuch asÌýfixing a burst pipe.

Journalist, Penny Anderson andÌýDr Paul Taylor from Leeds UniversityÌýjoin Jenni to discuss whether we're still guilty of assuming men should take on the DIY simply because of their sex.

How to Keep HouseÌýThe Lost Art of Being a Man by Sam Martin is published by Bloomsbury, ISBNÌýÌýÌý0Ìý7475 7402 2
