Several times in the last couple years, I’ve had women of a certain age tell me out of the blue “You’re a good man!” or “You’re a kind man!” With a kind of tone in their voice to imply it’s a rare, strange and precious thing to find. Like it had been So. Long.
I look at myself, (I mean, I do try?) but what I see the takeaway as being is: DO BETTER, YOU ASSHOLES.
Masculine humanity shouldn’t be a thing that women have to dig out of the earth like some kind of vanishing diamond.
