See? I still read your blogs.
And I'm glad I do. Have a blast at the Hungry Pines show tonight, Don. If you have an opportunity to walk a lady to her car, or make any other genuine gesture that emphasizes the gentle strength of a good man, I think you'll be supporting more than mere feminism.
Cheers, buddy.

well, matt, thanks for reading. i'm glad you're glad you do.
i wholeheartedly agree that we need genuine gestures. and we all should give into those little feelings that say that we should *do* something when we see a problem. that's my particular downfall: inaction. however, i'm worried that by helping i'm really hurting. for example, i think about it a lot in my teaching: i'm a pretty generous teacher, but i'm worried i'm making the kids too dependent on generosity to succeed. but then again if everyone was as generous as i am, they wouldn't need to worry about the future. it's similar for my stance on various things. i'd love to help, but perhaps by helping we're creating dependence on the help. and in that moment where a woman who has been helped to her car all her life is attacked on the way to her car when she can't find a gentleman to escort her, what then?
i don't know, matt. this is clearly an issue i think too deeply about. my personal goal is to listen to the inner voice that says "you should ask that kid sitting on the sidewalk near the park staring at their phone if they need help or anything" instead of just walking past like everyone else. maybe that's all i can do.
cheers to you as well.
