I will also add that I am hopeful this blog will attract more women readers and commenters. I will continue to read Slow Boring and other blogs, but I can't help but notice the significantly larger number of male commenters and will be pleased if more women join the ranks of readers and commenters for this blog.

I am so glad that you started this substack. I’ve enjoyed your comments on SlowBoring and am eager to bring the conversation here. LIke yourself, I have been experiencing a transformation in views. This has not been a pleasant experience for me. I was never “woke” but I held, or went along with, many beliefs because those were the beliefs of “my side” which was the “good” side. Then my friends took a sharp turn that I couldn’t follow, so I found myself alone and upset on the empty road, wondering which way is the nearest town. Thankfully I have been able to learn from others who have similar thoughts and are facing the same challenges. And it has been an opportunity to rediscover and own some fundamental values and to think a little more deeply about what I really think than I did before. I still consider myself a liberal, but a more thoughtful and, I hope, a more tolerant and open-minded one. I'm looking forward to discussing and learning with everyone!
