- A Midlife Crisis, By Any Other Name As I read this, I kept thinking two things: gosh, it must be nice to be able to run off to NYC and build an entirely new life and golly, so we’re framing this sort of dissatisfaction with our lives as something that men in the 40s and 50s go through and as something that women go through in their early 30s? Really? Basically, this essay (while beautifully written) annoyed me on a deep and fundamental level in much the same way that Inga Muscio’s Cunt annoyed me when I read it in my early 20s.
