any girl who talks about men as if they’re a terrifying other species, violent or unemotional or uncaring, their humanity dubious for whatever reason, should be forced to read James Herriot.

#I don’t like to say ‘man written by a woman’ precisely because Herriot reads like the stereotype of a man written by a woman #and he is a REAL LIFE man writing his own memoir!! he’s a REAL man!#gentleness and care and humor belong to masculinity as much as they belong to femininity!#read the chapters of this real life man meeting his real life wife and going on a disastrous first date with her and maybe you’ll calm down #‘man written by a woman’ my ass #maybe men are just wonderful did you ever think of that
