Blazing Reader,
In Thursday's post, I quoted Stefan Molyneux's novel, The Present, in which a character says, "The State is a giant machine that transfers wealth from men to women."
In response, blazing subscriber (and patron) Dr. Gary Magder (from Ontario) emailed to say:
"You like to live on the edge, eh John? LOL! This is as brilliant a notion as it is a brave revelation."
Surprisingly, only one (male!) reader unsubscribed. My female subscribers were relatively unoffended. For example, Jeanette Thiessen (from British Columbia) wrote to say:
"I've always said that women are smarter than men - they just are smart enough to pretend that the men are in control, but secretly, they have all the power."
And Gwyneth Cann (from Quebec) replied:
"Great! And with pertinent points that very few people recognize. I have often been grateful that I was born a woman as I have always seen the sweat, labour and often thankless toil that men perform to support women."
Yes, Stefan Molyneux's novel offers some "pertinent points" that are probably even more captivating than its post-apocalyptic survival story. You can preview The Present (in ebook and audiobook format) at: https://freedomain.com/freedomain_books/the-present/
