A man was so taken aback by women in public life he wrote to his local newspaper about it

Mike Hotter wrote into his local newspaper, the Derby Telegraph, to highlight a curious issue: women.

As published online, he wrote:

"I notice that more and more in life, and in fiction, there seem to be more women in the church taking the place of the vicar.

"This is also happening on allotments, with more women taking on allotments than men. Why? I do not have the answer.

"Mike Hotter."

We're genuinely not sure how to break this to you Mike, but women do exist.

Sorry.
