"It's truly tragic that we are taught to see men this way, to believe that men are violent, they hate us, they want to hurt us, they objectify us, they oppress us...to simplify, they don't really care about us...
"What I saw, now that I was open to seeing the truth of men, was breathtakingly, heartbreakingly beautiful. Everything I'd yearned for, and so much more, suddenly surrounded me. Everywhere. I saw honor, dedication, service, purpose, leadership everywhere I looked. I saw heroism, devotion, passion, selflessness all around me...I finally started to understand what it means to be a man. I finally found the words to replace the false vocabulary of 'toxic' and 'vile,' and describe what I had known, on some level, all along.
"Where I had once looked for monsters where there were only men, I was finally able to see men as they are: heroic, honorable, generous, and so much more."
