you’re right it was a little
bitter
and i didn’t
feel so good about it
so it’s gone
i actually feel relievedÂ
- even though, there is too much man-woman stuffÂ
in films and their audience
and i think women get it harder both times
but there are better ways of drawing that out.

I’m a man.
Yet I couldn’t agree with you more.
Not all of us are like that, but I do feel ashamed sometimes of what we as men represent.
It appears that it did happen to you, and you deserve better.
Please excuse my cowardly anonymity. I’ve been in touch with you in the past, and would rather not insult you by using a fake name.
I’ve followed your work up till now. I may or may not do so in the future, but if I don’t it won’t be because of you. Again, forgive the cryptic words; I just feel desperately, desperately disillusioned, but again, it’s not you.
Keep up the good work

you see it’s honesty like this, that makes me pleased i take a kind of bitter drawing down.
i was feeling kind of shy about it and then read your note and thought, it’s a blog, i can edit it.
oh but i read the desperately disillusioned bit
all i can say, i don’t know if you draw
but i feel it so works to get disillusionment out of the system
i did it with my anger at a certain critique of my work and it just zapped it away.
and i know, it’s definitely not all men. men are sometimes the best feminists out there.
thanks for getting in touch even as anonymous
