"The solution isn’t 'masculinity camps' that reinforce toxic archetypes. The solution is emotional therapy and radical accountability from the men who are doing well. It is time for brothers to show up for brothers and say: There is a better way to be human. …

We spend way too much time in our society, which is a patriarchal society that centers the needs and wants and desires of men, before we think about the care of women and children."

"When a woman makes the courageous decision to leave an abusive or failing situation, it becomes the most dangerous moment of her life. We claim to care about women and children, but our systems tell a different story. Law enforcement frequently fails to act until it is too late, and society continues to ask women to 'cater to' and 'hold' the fragile egos of men who are woefully, dangerously unwell."

"We live in a patriarchal society that centers the needs and desires of men while consistently failing to provide them with the emotional tools to exist in a changing world. The result is a devastating wave of violence against women and children.

From the halls of power to the suburbs of Louisiana, we are seeing the fallout of men who cannot manage rejection, empathy, or emotion."
