History
First publication: Mr. Magazine, July 1956
Review
Ellison wrote a number of stories for the men’s magazines in the 1950s. They were written for the money and are not works he was proud of. I can see why. Ellison’s story, and the others in Mr. Magazine, are very misogynistic. The men are not happy with their women and would do anything to get rid of them. Not recommended. Not Ellison even close to his best.
