I'll try to stay as close to the core as possible. I believe we are fundamentally wired differently than women and that it's possible to make generalizations that are relevant for the large majority of men. Of course, there will always be unicorns but if we focus on the exceptions to the rule we can't talk about anything.
I have to look into John by Robert Bly, thanks for the suggestion :-)
Robert Bly focuses a lot on 'grief', mythology and folklore, archetypes including 'The Wild Man' of the forest. It appeals a lot to the creative in me. It's less about hunting and fighting other men for territory, which is what Donovan seems to be about.
