This is not to say that Robert Bly himself did this, but it is amazing to me how we have pushed men to be providers to the point of being non-entities in their own homes and then put on shocked pikachu face when that has knock-on effects.

Interesting takes on desire severed from reason and the problems of the Prisoner's Dilemma.

Richard is on page 75 of 416 of Romney: A Reckoning
Ok. I'm starting to get a sense of where we're going here, and I'm wondering if it's just Coppins, or if there is a larger mood of "let us breeze by the triumphs and zero in on the failings" in political biographies.

That said, Romney, whom I have always admired for his principles, not summoning the moral courage to face down outrageous demands from dumb voters is disappointing, if not surprising.
