Having a great time. I’d have to connect via dial-up at long-distance rates unless, as now, I’m able to drop into an internet cafe in town. Having a great time. Weather’s cool but it’s marvelously sunny, especially for the far north California coast. Great beaches, the occasional whale in the distance, redwoods you’d need to pack a lunch to walk around the trunk, and my (evidently chill-proof and wind-resistant) children are transported with all the sand, water, shells, gravel, and the enormous rocks dotting the coastline here.

Meanwhile it finally soaked in after however long it’s been that what I’m really interested in dealing with if I can find a good graduate program that’ll let me do it is understanding, discussing, and mitigating the impact of anti-feminism on men.

Because for all the plaintive refrain of NiceGuys™ everywhere that “patriarchy hurtz menz twoo,” for the most part nobody does very much about it except, possibly, concern-troll about how nobody does anything about it on feminist-focused websites. Which is sort of a shame because for all the incontestible crap it heaps on women the benefits to men are, um, kind of meager.

Oh rats, almost out of batteries.

More tomorrow, maybe.
