I remember first hearing about Donovan on Art of Manliness blog and podcast. I read his essay and probably because I read it uncritically didn't notice lack of women in it, although his being sodomite was little off-putting. But the main thing is, how didn't McKeys presented it more critically? I don't remember them making strong emphasis on lack of family in his writings...
Solid critique from you though. Really, as society moves away from Christendom it is becoming decadent West and we will see more and more writers like Donovan. If we lose our foundations, people will search for new ones in all the wrong places and will not find them until they return to Christianity, God willing.
Donovan denies the patriarchy. But his writing casts a spell over the young male mind because, like a heresy, it contains an element of truth. Strength, courage etc really are important. But not for the reasons he says.
The more I listened to people like Rich Cooper, the more it made sense he occasionally cited Jack Donovan. While Donovan is a homosexual and Cooper is not, the latter may as well be since he lives as one and advocates that life for young men.
