Janice, I am honored you would say that. Thank you! You know I feel the exact same towards you. I'm looking forward to doing things together this year!
Tom, I always find your posts stimulating and would feel churlish asking for more. But reading Brian Stewart's review of Scott Galloway's "Notes on Being a Man" (Commentary magazine, Nov. '25) I wondered what you thought of Galloway's approach. Stewart adds some thoughts of his own. He notes, for example, that male spiritedness is stigmatized and thinks that this scorn prompts men to take up (passive) lifestyles that are "much less agreeable, not least for women" (p. 61), a comment I find somewhat difficult to interpret. I’m starting on Galloway’s book tomorrow and wondered if you’d had time to read it. Happy New Year, by the way, and thanks for all your great posts in 2025.
Thanks very much Allen. I will be curious to hear what you think of Galloway's book. I tend to avoid almost anything that is getting mainstream coverage. I have seen over the years the way the media pushes exactly what they want and covers up what they don't. Galloway does seem a bit different from the little I have heard. I will poke around a bit and will look forward to hearing your take on this. I loved your last post on McCuller's book. I wonder how many relationships would benefit from boxing to solve disputes? https://allenfrantzen.substack.com/p/love-me-tender-2
Your work is truly irreplaceable, Tom. You are a unique voice for men, and I am thankful for you.
