Discuss how the Mail online story on James Cracknell differs from the Daily Mail

The Mail differs from the Daily Mail as the daily mail portrays his wife to be someone who supports her husband, however still thinks negatively of him - albeit she had tweeted him about it. This involves individualism as it is all about one person - James Cracknell, it is all about him putting his career and goals in front of his family. Patriarchy is there as the wife plays the higher patriarchal value due to him barely being at home and caring for his household family because of him neglecting his family for his career and goals. Bel hooks' feminism theory is used in the fact that she is needed to look after the family proving there is not an equality between the genders, the fact of the divorce is also linking to bel hooks as she isn't letting him treat her in the way he is.
