I’ve done many talks about neurodivergence - especially since Normally Weird was published - I would often say I’d been fortunate in looking back and not feeling frustration or fury at what I’d lost by not knowing what was going on in my head - I don’t feel like that anymore - loss phase has begun

So often the press, politicians and electorate treat the powerful as if they are who they pretend to be and not who they so obviously are (Farage, Trump and so many more)

Cover of review with stylised Alan on it


#NOTALLMEN
"Not all men"
Sure.
That's true.
But oh so many men
And as one myself, Negligibly,
Some very male males may say, I cannot comprehend
How so many abuses never end
The man whose legs spring open
Like misogynistic secateurs
As he takes the train seat by your side
Blurs the boundaries
Both ambivalent to your existence
Yet the knee rub is persistent.
A woman smiling at a stranger
Shouldn't lead to danger
Yet friendliness is so often deformed into an offer.
All that late night threat
Dismissed as "just a joke" Or "you're too woke".

In Washington
A house has opened gates To a relentless predator.
While previous presidents were pleased to cajole fellatio And then,
Post priapism,
Turn their flirtatious face into angry denial
"that woman!
That woman!
That woman!"
A comment on a stranger's breast and all the rest
Should surely be confined into a past
But still
Not yet
If we wish to be #not all men!
If we want to prove Solanas wrong
Then we will show that to be truly strong
We won't stand in silence
As our sisters fight alone
