ABSTRACT
Affluent non-manual home backgrounds were not typical in the sample I obtained. There was no deliberate attempt on my part to achieve this, since my sole criterion was that the men interviewed be anti-sexist in outlook, as defined earlier. It may be a reflection of the fact that the area in which the study was done-Staffordshire-is not a particularly affluent part of England. Two men from non-manual backgrounds (Steve and John) were from large Catholic families where resources were spread thinly.
