Given that I don't know what it is like to be a man, I can't process that information.

Even though I am a man I have a hard time understanding what Phaedrus means by that place being a poor place to be a man.

It's nothing mysterious. I was always a bit of an oddball in my one-horse town. Very conservative, mostly farmers. I never really fit in there. When I moved to a town 250X bigger I kind of came into my own, socially and eventually professionally.

Though Ocala, FL is larger than the town you described, I know what you mean by "fitting in."

Fortunately, Ocala is growing. I wish the bus would be extended to this area and put in sidewalks.
