So true. This is exactly why rates of mental illness are highest among young, leftist women. They are constantly told and tell themselves the biggest lie of all, that there is no difference between men and women. This lie is born out of another lie, that women are somehow less valuable than men.

Women are not less valuable than men, just as men are not less valuable than women. They are however, different. Certain things, such as war are properly the province of men. This does not mean that a woman cannot be educated, athletic, strong, brave or any other thing associated with men. It just means that they cannot be men, and should not try to be.

Women who try to convince themselves that there is no difference between the sexes are doubly vexing themselves. First by trying to be something they cannot, and second by devaluing what they are.

Great article! There is absolutely a connection between our emotions and physical bodies. I just wrote an article of my own coming out of sorts. While I didn’t say it in the piece, I’m hoping by sharing my truth (that I did not vote the way of my profession -Hollywood) my back pain will dissolve. I’ve been carrying an invisible weight by staying silent for years. No more. Who knew that Doctor Zhivago would apply to me in the very week I posted? I love your Substack so much!!! Thank you for making great literature so accessible.
