Dear Mr. Gray,
You sell far more books than I do, and your name is much better
known than my own. My invitation therefore may seem rather self-serving.
Nonetheless, here goes.
To my mind, your views on gender are wrongheaded, outmoded, reductive
and dangerous. Your “Mars/Venus” outlook reinforces obsolete stereotypes
and coerces men and women alike into narrow and restrictive ways
of defining themselves and one another.
I believe that my novel, Unplugged, represents and articulates a far more accurate and constructive
point of view.
Mr. Gray, I will publicly debate you on the topic of gender at
the time and place of your choice. Please contact me at POB 622,
Evanston, IL 60204-0622 to make arrangements.
Sincerely,
Paul McComas
