Dear Michel,
I feel grateful for your sharing of humor with our PWP community.
It is a lovely gift, but the old-fashioned, painted-nails and high-heels
portrait of women I found rather irritating. Camilla's thoughts resonate
with mine, except that the suave, macho-man counterpart to your piece on
women, excludes gay men....
We men must acquire and be open to new images and role models when we
write about women. Our PWP community will enlarge and benefit by a
special sensitivity among us guys to the changing roles and attitudes of
women.
Thank you for your tolerance of diversity.
Ivan Suzman
