I am a confident male, comfortable in my physical nature. This is why I can state without any sense of apology that I have several Man Crushes. I am hoping that by making this public announcement, it will become more common and acceptable among men who are some how and in some ways lesser men than I. During late night bull sessions in grad school, we used to ponder whom we'd want to live next to, y'know, just hang out with and chat with over the fence between our yards. This is really just a variant of that. What kind of man would "an astronomer, writer, and skeptic" have a crush on? Let's see. 1) Doctor Who. Duh. The greatest science fiction hero of all time, and anyone who disagrees is simply wrong. There are objective realities. The ninth Doctor, played by Christopher Eccleston, was very cool.
