My Guest Radio Spot: Busted Families, Venus, and Mars

And I quote:

There's a certain amount of 'thick-skin-ness' a blog writer needs to be successful at, well, just writing stuff. 

I grew tired of how difficult it was to post to my old 'Busted Families' category; Americans automatically go 'venus/mars' on the topic of divorce, and worse, they 'go singular', as though it's only them or only me. Wrong-o. I scaled-down that category a while back and voila! My hate mail went down. The topic's incredibly hard to tackle in any kind of commentary, including this one (radio). It's full of angles and emotions.

That doesn't say that the message doesn't need to travel far and wide.

The stark fact is this: divorce in America and it's incredible inpact in the latter 20th century now spawns half an entire generation of young people, so llike it or not, the topic's not only relevant, it's on fire. I constantly forget, though, that when I write people take it all personally--which is the wrong approach to take. Even more powerfully, the American-specific chasm between genders on this issue makes forum, other than that of lawyers who get PAID to keep forums held to only within their arena, virtually impossible.everything having to do with the system. The 'Mars' side doesn't deploy the personal attack. I don't set automatic 'spam' settings to comments tht hit my plain-jane blog, but I've learned in these cases I have to be pretty careful regarding the cacaphony 's' or 'f' words that appeared courtesy of these guys. (laughs in studio)

If it helps, and why would it?, I've received reams and paragraphs of columns from guys, who don't attack me at all but attack anything and

Folks, a guy (me) fingering a growing MONSTER of a societal paridgm is NOT misogynistic. My biggest accusers of this? Married women, who are blessed with intact families. Go figure. They are happy, though--rightfully so--that it's us here, and not them.

host: 'I know, yes. Venus and Mars'

Right. Yea.
