Sorry that you have received such awful abuse. My response is to buy your book, something I've been meaning to do for ages. Thank you for continuing to share your perspectives with us.

Your article in The Atlantic - The Feminist Aristocrats, was long overdue and fascinating. Truly, excellent work. As an American, and student of political science, I have always been puzzled by the citizens of the UK, and their willingness to allow the waspy male dominated aristocracy to continue. It's sort of the same here in the USA, but without aristocratic titles. In the documentary, Decline Of British Dukedom; The Last Dukes, the eldest daughter of the Duke of Rutland discusses how she is perfectly okay with her younger brother inheriting everything. Go to 45:00 into the film to listen.
