Equality

I mourn for the me that could have been…in a world devoid of patriarchy

patriarchy’s impact is not only on women or on men. It’s on everyone. It’s on all of us as a society.

see how you’re holding up patriarchy, and then determine how you can be better

As a man in a #TimesUp #MeToo #SayHerName world, it’s not enough to pay lip service for a second and move on.

Women are enough.

portrayals of mythical or real women as innately evil undermine the self-confidence of all women

Stop trying to control women’s bodies and sexuality. Unwanted pregnancies are caused by men.

it has taken years and much conscious effort to shed the negative masculine modeling I witnessed

I was taught how to live in a feminist fairytale, but not how to live in reality.  

How could God want something for me that I was sure was incompatible with my happiness?
