I was raised full on Lib. That meant I did my own laundry and cooked my own meals from the age of seven. Women fought for equal rights under the auspices of making the world more egalitarian. We were supposed to rise as a society and become better on the whole. Full stop. Did not happen. Women became men. They became men but still wanted to be treated as women. Ouch. For a man like me, it’s unattractive. I don’t care if you have a masters. Are you kind when you don’t want to be? Do you have empathy? Very little, I am afraid. Mostly it’s looking for the better deal. Everything is transactional. So I have retreated. I own a farm. I have a cat. And I have the peace . It’s raining.
