It always seemed clear to me that the displaced men assumed that an all-female world must be an unhappy one, while ignoring the fact that the women seemed to be getting along just fine without them. I think it's very similar to "The Women Men Don't See", where the apparently well-meaning male protagonist clearly doesn't understand women. That disconnect is part of what made the stories so powerful to me when I first read them as a teenager in the 80s. It was so different from most of the male-centric SF I had read to that point.Peggy Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18360669414917755737noreply@blogger.com
