It is always nice to get a different view on a significant issue. I read and reread your letter very carefully, to be sun that I undmtood all of the issues that you brought to light. I must say, I think you hit upon a number of good ones. Too bad they didn't have much to do with what my stay was about. for nee Q 1075 S.

I can come up with one of two reasons for your reaction to my story. First, you missed die point. I have no bone to pick with the Men's Movement (or Men's Work, if you insist on being pedantic). And in fact the fellow that inspired the bit is a very good Mend, even if we have different views about the world. He chooses to search very deeply in a culture that is not Ids for solutions to problems. Perhaps the solutions are not to be found, and perhaps they are inside him. Maybe he just doesn't know how to look? I don't know, but I hope he will find his lost warrior tradition, whatever it may be. A second and far more terrible reason why you didn't get it is perhaps you have no sense of humor. Too bad. Perhaps it is not so much that you missed the point as you are incapable of laughing at yourself. And that's a real shame. " I do not, for most of the article, poke fun at die Men's Movement No, it seems to me that I was making a funny about my own culture, and the silliness associated with manliness in America. Oh, by the way, I think that you are entitled to your opinion, certainly, and if you don't like my writing, fine. I, too, am entitled to my opinion. I think Robert Bly is a fine poet, and never have I insulted die quality of his words in anything that I have written. I am sorry that you were unable to see that fids was a story with a humorous intent, and that you felt the need to indirectly insult my abilities as a writer. It is unfortunate when, kidding aside, we cannot express differences of opinion without resorting to veiled personal attacks. Now, if you'll excuse me, ABCs Monday Night Football is on.
