I've always thought I shared intimate details from my life. After reading just 2 of your posts, my actual candor is about the size of my pinky, compared to your raw, full-sized, whole body writing style.<br /><br />"Real men" should QUAKE in your presence.

Listened to your FOF interview and totally loved it ... well, truth be told, I loved your sense of humour... full disclosure: came away a bit intimidated. You are so quick that it sometimes leaves me breathless ... those Chicago guys are pretty darn good but almost w/o exception you were at least a couple -- not one but a couple -- of steps ahead of them (and sometimes they didn't even get it). Whew... I mean can I even talk with/keep up with you?.. rhetorical question: I would love the challenge.<br /><br />Anyway, none of that -- as much fun as it was -- is why I'm here now. It's in response to your musings here about what a REAL man is ... what makes a man, I guess. Yours is disability-contexted at least somewhat but I believe from quite a long fascination (nay, obsession) with observing the ♂ human on this planet that that fear of not living up to the real man expectation is a universal feature of our sex/gender or gender/sex here and now -- and probably forever. It is in our genes, it is in our cultures, it is in the Earth ... sex makes the world go round (cliché) but it's ♂ sex that drives it forward (♀ sex by contrast nurtures and cares for life forever... and that would be when and wherever the ♂ variety sends it. They are totally different sexes when it comes to this sex biz... might say two different sex species, except that they need to get together for their common, mutual speciesness and sex-ness, too, to survive).<br /><br />So, here's what I want to share today -- I also intend this for AJ whom you might recall from the pub book launch a couple of weeks ago b/c I find him taking or getting or hauling or dropping me to the same place I'm in right now after hearing you: I want to share this with both of you because it is one of the most extraordinary things that has ever happened to me and I am nearly overwhelmed at the amazing honesty and transparency of both your grapplings with this REAL MAN theme though in quite different ways, it seems to me...so maybe I can reciprocate (?)<br /><br />OK Andrew, when I finished this thing and tried to publish it here I discovered that my post came out 2218 characters too large. hahahaha...<br /><br />SO, I'm deleting the rest here and will send it to you as an email attachment.<br /><br />All my very best,<br /><br /> L.<br />Lee Deehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15708990054762105106noreply@blogger.com
