做一个男人最好的地方是什么?
This is what some men in London told us:
Man 1: Actually, I have no views on this. Seriously, I've not thought about it that well, because we live in a society now that.... I put men and women on an equal footing, so realistically I just don't think about this.
Man 2: Males are still given some sort of supremacy in the workplace, in terms of promotions, in terms of pay. There's still a lot of organisations where men are paid more than women.
Man 3: More freedom, more independence, get to choose what you want to do!
