Nice one. Thought-provoking Thursday morning reading. You managed to avoid the ‘poor me’ of some of the discussions around this while still highlighting some of the binds. What also strikes me is that it’s very difficult as a SWM to comment on the gender id debate because you support the hard-fought rights of women. Having spent my 20s and 30s involved in what all that meant for men and their identities together with our feminist partners, I’ve found that very frustrating.
And yes, Caitlin Morgan’s lazy takes on men, their (our) identities and their (our) mental health are pretty cheap.
