Thank you for this excellent essay on Hemmingway and the toxic masculinity that writers have inherited, loaded, and straddled. It is anchored in his original field, in journalism, and I certainly found it difficult in that arena, as a female journalist in a macho world.

Thank you for this excellent essay on Hemmingway and the toxic masculinity that writers have inherited, loaded, and straddled. It is anchored in his original field, in journalism, and I certainly found it difficult in that arena, as a female journalist in a macho world. I've heard it is still tough now as many managers represent this style and the system was fashioned in its image.
Act like war boys and be accepted, but let the pain seep into your writing just enough. Many of us did not make it out and many still do not - take a look at the death toll of journalists killed in Gaza, more than the whole total of journalists killed in WW2.
I did the side shuffle and turned to fiction where it is easier to tell the truth than it is in the media - a machine that was created by men adept at spin.
Of course many women have picked up the toxic baton and spread the poison. Domination is key that opens doors under capitalism.
The best literature of our era, of any era, addresses the inequity, and speaks from the bottom up, rather than the top down.
