"Interesting perspective! It’s fascinating how different experiences shape our views on masculinity and family dynamics. Every individual has their own journey, and it’s important to celebrate the diversity of approaches to love and protection. Let’s uplift each other instead of labeling! 💫"

One of my favorite conversations was with a man who kept saying toxic masculinity things at a casino. I explained to him to stop. He kept yelling “that bitch in the corner” while on a slot machine. Before this we had a kind conversation. Thought he’d be okay to hear truth.

His big defense: “after my wife left me … I’ve raised five daughters so don’t tell me I’m a sexist.”

Me: How many of them talk to you today?

Prepared myself to take the inevitable punch but he looked as if he’d cry.

My point: I don’t take crap from people IRL & **actively** fight for a better world. Conversations can change perception sometimes. Even the tough ones.

I don’t go out seeking people like this. 99% are kind & loving. It’s the 1% of the toxic that must be neutralized. 😊
