The irony is that there are plenty of manly men out here in the heartland. However, it is unlikely that Kay Hymowitz or Kathleen Parker would be interested in most of us–not that most of us would give them the time of day–even if they were to summon the courage to step outside the Upper East Side.
Why? Because they don’t want just manly men. They want wealthy manly men, who are conversant with Manhattan culture. Since most of us are just middle class, in Hymowitz’s world we are unpersons.
Kay, life involves tradeoffs. You can have your Manhattan life of coffee klatsches and salons, or you can have the kind of men you say you like. You can’t have both.
