Your story is a beautiful and tender story. I was moved. Thank-you.

I am a survivor of an attempted suicide by pill OD, over 50 years ago.

It took me many years to get in touch with and communicate my feelings.

As for feminism - since the 70s I have supported feminists, for both genders at that time. I naively thought (in the '70s) that men would embrace feminism because it's really humanism. When all genders accept one another as equals my belief (and logic) holds that equality will take the pressure off men and life will be easier for all. I still value that line of thinking, though it's unlikely that will happen in my lifetime.
