This was a most excellent piece of writing. Your list of worries are exactly mine and I am a 75 year old man. I naively thought better of the men of 2024, but that has proved me tragically wrong. Of the Trump supporting women? Ignorance, what else can it be?

I'm a big tough prize-winning writer man of 79, former athlete, current resistance writer. I also write, publish and perform poems, songs, stories (fictions and fabulations), plays and films and have first or second drafts of MGAN (my great American novel) elusive but waiting in a drawer and on my iCloud.

I've called myself a Feminist since the early 70's, when I read the essays in my wife's copy of "Sisterhood is Powerful". I said YES! all the way through it until I got to Andrea Dworkin's piece asserting that all men are rapists. Big nix to that.

But overall "Sisters" was a revelation to me, and, though a critique, strangely joyful. One reaction: If women could be free, then so could we men! Free from shit bosses, bullies and cheezy machismo (fake manhood).

Possible new substack name: Uncle John's Stack o' Joy (and Tactical Resistance).

Thank you big time, Tiffany Torres!! Onward!
