« La #masculinité a été construite pendant peut-être 100 ans sur le poème de Rudyard #Kipling appris à l'école: Tu seras un homme, mon fils. On entendait sans arrêt "être un homme",
"il faut #êtreunhomme", "on se bat pour être un #homme". C'était une injonction aussi lourde que celle qui pesait sur les #femmes : devoir avoir une #féminité ou #êtreféminine. »
CHARLES DANTZIG

They shut the road through the woods

Seventy years ago.

Weather and rain have undone it again,

And now you would never know

There was once a road through the woods

Before they planted the trees.

It is underneath the coppice and heath,

And the thin anemones.

Only the keeper sees

That, where the ring-dove broods,

And the badgers roll at ease,

There was once a road through the woods.

Yet, if you enter the woods

Of a summer evening late,

When the night-air cools on the trout-ringed pools

Where the otter whistles his mate,

(They fear not men in the woods,

Because they see so few.)

You will hear the beat of a horse’s feet,

And the swish of a skirt in the dew,

Steadily cantering through

The misty solitudes,

As though they perfectly knew

The old lost road through the woods.

But there is no road through the woods.

With some mild reinterpretation to fit our times, every word of Kipling's "The Old Issue" applies to our present situation.

When all about you are dropping theirs

@futurebird @mansr #Proverbs 6:7 starts an excellant rumination on ants, but I can't find the bit where they chat back. And the Proverbs of Solomon are one of the Jewish texts in the Christian Bible, accepted by all churches. Are you thinking of the #Wisdom of Solomon, which some protestants reject?

Somewhat relatedly, everyone should read #Kipling's "The Butterfly That Stamped", one of the Just So Stories.

@catarinac

#Kipling was not a leftist, but still he'd made a quite better job at that definition.

As for my personal case, although I am likely to fail most of these checks, there's some hope as I generally don't "go grocery shopping with [my] wife". I am generally sufficiently autonomous to do that unaccompanied.
