E. Jean here.  It's weird.

 

For 26 years I kept noticing

that most of the problems coming

into the Ask E. Jean column in Elle magazine were caused

by one thing.

And that cause was men.

So I came up with

a modest proposal for getting rid

of the

male sex.

But first, I had to

find out if we 

needed  the

chaps for

anything.

I loaded up Miss Bingley (my old Prius) with maps, notebooks, wine,

Rachel Ray dog food and Lewis Carroll, the poodle.

And we set out  together

on a 4,099 road trip.  

We only went to towns named after women!  

We only went to towns named after women!  

And when we arrived in a town named after a woman, Lewis and I jumped out

of Miss Bingley and asked people:

WHAT DO WE NEED MEN FOR?

The answers were shocking!

Avenir Light is a clean and stylish font favored by designers. It's easy on the eyes and a great go to font for titles, paragraphs & more.

So shocking, in fact,  that I started to think about the men in my own life----

the harassers, maulers, chumps, creeps, swindlers, stranglers and dickweeds.

I made a list.

The Most Hideous Men of My Life List.

And this is what my memoir, What Do We Need Men For is about.

So I wrote it...and this is what happened

Wow. E. Jean Carroll, an author I've long admired, writes of Donald Trump assaulting her in the mid-90s: "He lunges at me, pushes me against the wall, hitting my head quite badly, and puts his mouth against my lips." And it gets worse...https://www.thecut.com/2019/06/donald-trump-assault-e-jean-carroll-other-hideous-men.html …

Great @ELLEmagazine advice-columnist @ejeancarroll was  violently-sexually assaulted by @realDonaldTrump in a dressing room; he  penetrated her. If you can vote for a man who even *may have* actually  done this, who has a pattern of *doing it*, you hate America and women. @NYMag
