While I inwardly cringe at the imposition of woke thought policing on art and literature of the past, people forget that the supposedly alpha male Hemingway befriended openly gay Gertrude Stein at a time when it was not socially acceptable. He also believed that the deep state was out to get him for his support of Fidel Castro's revolution. At the end of the day, he was an artist and therefore a deeply sensitive man. In our overly politicized society, people cannot reconcile liking boxing, hunting and bullfighting with being a sensitive male artist.
