I have a sister 5 years my junior. When Gloria Steinem and the Women’s Lib Movement started my sister latched on hook,line and sinker. If my older brother was not mentally challenged and gone away to live in a state institution in Wrentham,MA that would have been another male voice against her. Then another brother 2 years my junior died from Bacterial meningitis when he was 10 months old. Another voice for my side was gone. My parents separated in 1964 so now my father was gone. I know if there were my 2 brothers and my father making a total of 4 male voices I know all of the arguing about me being a male chauvinist would not have gone on. Was I ever so glad when my sister got married in June of 76. My late brother-in-law was able to get us together and talking until he died in June of 81. I saw the story in the Newburyport Daily News. An autopsy said he died of cardiac arrest at 26. He drank a lot. My older brother does not talk. I have tried to reach out to my niece,2 nephews and nephew-in-law. They have all gone away after my mother died in 2010. So when women or anyone say they are close to there family I say great for you.
