[quote=Anonymous]OP I come from a family of writers and journalists, and it is truly a right of passage for the men in our family to write their memoirs and leave such an unhinged version of history behind that it makes me want to scream until my teeth fall out or something. In certain circles, this is deeply typical and continues the generational sidelining of the truth in order to support these old men’s fragile egos. This is painful, but I am with you and it’s very typical. The only thing I can say is that in my experience, they get there comeuppance when their brilliant memoirs get shopped to their previous publishing houses and dismissed out of hand because they are not that interesting, vulnerable, or compelling. So it ends up being just a long journal entry. Had these men journaled through their actual nuclear bombs perhaps they would have more insight.[/quote]
