    Wow, what a refreshing read. I know nothing about the author herself but her approach toward and takedown of so called “dick lit” definitely has me interested in Jonathan Abernathy You Are Kind.

    It’s interesting that the author acknowledges that humans, including men, are complicated emotional creatures capable of multiple feelings at any given time, and then completely disregards that in her final conclusion.

        It’s in the article you linked? Her main character is by her own description a one-dimensional self involved caricature, implicitly as a mirror to Joelle van Dyne. Honestly the whole article’s got really nasty overtones, but that’s sadly the norm these days.

      Interesting that you are choosing to bypass all of what this author is trying to say with a comment that basically amounts to “nOt aLl MeN”. The all-lives-matter equivalent in gender discussions.
