With first class partner redemptions on United now pricing at 110,000 miles each way from the U.S. to Europe, the elimination of the low 4,500 Avios

After all, there are few areas that are really «denied» to men, if the
level of operations demanded be transcendent, responsible or
rewarding enough: men who have a need for «feminine» involvement with babies or children gain status as pediatricians or child psychologists, with a nurse (female) to do the more routine work; those who feel the urge for kitchen creativity may gain fame as master chefs; and, of course, men who yearn to fulfill themselves through what are often termed «feminine» artistic interests can find themselves as painters or sculptors, rather than as volunteer museum aides or part time ceramists, as their female counterparts so often end up doing; as far as scholarship is concerned, how many men would be willing to change their jobs as teachers and researchers for those of unpaid, part - time research assistants and typists as well as full - time nannies and
domestic workers?
