I never read the Mary Poppins books, but as Carla's fellow Gen Xer I can confirm that we adore the Disney film. I'm also quite fond of the Emily Blunt sequel in which Bert makes an adorable appearance near the end. I do love men who are gentle. Men who are secure in their masculinity feel no need to shove everyone in the world into two narrow little gender boxes; that is the behavior of the insecure. If strict gender roles were assigned by nature, then there would be no need to enforce them.

Julia Sweeney talked a bit about how amazing DVD is on her Substack. It seems to be 100% legit and sincere.
