I just finished writing a comedy play this week about this very subject. It is about the release of 4 men back into the wild, who have been rescued by the Udeval Centre for the Study and Rescue of Male Masculinities. Each of their keepers is a different stage of feminism. I was trying to make the point that men and women are equal in their sillyness. It is hard not to come to the conclusion that masculine and feminine are locked into a perpetual, but ultimately beneficial conflict that drives our evolution forward. JB Haldane wrote about beneficial conflicts in nature. It's nearly 100 years ago now, but our grand-parents knew a thing or two.
Hey, thanks so much for this encouragement. I really appreciate the push to write more. I’ve been a little put off by the febrile atmosphere that’s been emerging here on Substack. But your comments make me want to offer more. Thanks and all the same to you in return!
Love it — I say yes too, I think we all want the same thing - to be seen, loved and accepted for who we are. Looking forward to reading more :)
Love straddle in the title, very euphemistic

Hey Chris, that sounds like a fresh idea for a play. For radio or stage? What are your plans with it? Tell me more!
I honor the beautiful intention behind your words, looking forward to reading more of your series of articles. Cheers!
