I have no idea why this Substack letter has been age restricted, only that there’s a picture of the statue of Pan…or is it because I mentioned *BABYLON?* Please do read, sign in or subscribe. I always appreciate feedback and comments….and pledges! Thank you to the two people who have pledged!

What a thought-provoking essay today !

"Unlearning is the greatest form of learning? "

Subconsciously/consciously, I'm still dealing with the conditioning of my upbringing, filtering the useful from the detrimental. As you know, I was fostered then brought up by a single mother, and as a male I'm still not sure if it helped me understand my interactions with women. I would hope by now that I have learned not to differentiate of either males or females and see them all as humans with their qualities.

Very Interesting to hear of your Scottish roots too :)

But for your namesake - Éirinn go Brách !

I loved Dundee… I imagine we also had jute spinners in the family

I'm not entirely sure about your statement about male fear... Women can be afraid of men... Men may be afraid of women or their influence. Magic is more of a metaphor, and every gender has it. Is not it so? But is it because of fear? Or just prejudice. And yes, by "men" do you mean the majority? I doubt that. Even in the patriarchy, most men loved their mothers and wives. The daughters at the end are kotznov. Yes, there are bad people everywhere, both among men and women.

Oooo someone challenging my writing… none of what I write are statements. Have a great day and enjoy.
