....which is why there is such a phrase as toxic masculinity in the first place. If women were the source of such abuse of power over thousands of years, we might be hating on the matriarchy and talking about toxic femininity. But, we are not. We are hating on the patriarchy and talking about toxic masculinity, because THIS IS THE WORLD MEN CREATED.

If men don't like it, they, for the most part, are still in control. Change it! I think most of us women, who are accused of being a little off, power hungry, or controlling, are truly only responding to decades and centuries of being silenced, pure and simple. Men have told us lies about who we are just as men have told other men lies about who they are. So, stop lying and get honest.

First up...give up some of your power to those who rightfully deserve it...the women who birthed and raised this entire planet full of people.

Yes, men suffer in silence. Change that. You have the option to do so. I see men doing this work and am thrilled.

Yes, men have been blamed for crimes they haven't committed. So, get everyone on the "don't rape women" bandwagon and change the trajectory of those conversations.

Use your power for good and you will see a changed world. And give the rest to those who are ready for it and deserve it.
