This Sunday,  November 1, 2022 our discussions will have two topics:  the
election in Brazil and the crisis of masculinity.  Here are some readings:
The “End of Men” is a book excerpt and 16 pages of text.  The others are
fairly short.  There are Google Docs files for the password protected
items, these lack pictures but are easier to print.
