Howard Jacobson reflects on maleness in the aftermath of the Brett Kavanaugh story.

"With every sniff and grimace" Howard writes of the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing, "it wasn't sorrow or confusion we witnessed but petulance and menace, as though a prize bull had been cornered and in its fury knew only to kick out".

"This is not a good time to be a man", he says.
