My Mom tells stories about growing up on a farm in the 1940s and she has a lot of stories of mean roosters that ended up in the soup pot. The good tempered ones that did security duty and didn’t beat up the hens got to live and pass on their DNA. Mean/useless ones went to kitchen camp…

I’m about to restack. Fingers crossed my male subscribers have a sense of humour (I reckon they fit the criteria anyway!)

I instantly clocked that this was going to be an AMAZING read. But, little did I know I would end up feeling so disheartened from being reminded how much we currently endure. How true this utopian society is if there were in fact, significantly less men on Earth. What an important cultural essay you've written. I'm going to stay awake at night with this thought piece.

I was originally against trying to colonize Mars, but you make a great point. The toxicity levels on Earth are off the chart, so I don't disagree with sending them to planetary rehab. I'm just glad I don't meet the requirements.

I wish I could love this more than once.... I'm pretty sure you just summed up everything well women worldwide think about perhaps in a more eloquent way. Cheers
