the thing is I actually have tremendous empathy for boys and young men. and when I look at who is giving them the hardest time it is generally other men.

I have empathy for the boys derided as "gay" or "pussies" for the slightest perceived aberration from restrictive heteropatriarchal norms. I have empathy for every boy and man who's had his authentic joy in something "girly" snuffed out, whether temporarily or permanently
this is why it is so important to show the young men that you can still enjoy effeminate tropical drinks while being a #masculine dad with strong thighs
I have empathy for boys and young men killed, injured, and terrorized by (potential) school shooters, who are almost exclusively other boys and young men
I have empathy for young men around the world who are disproportionately sent to die in violent conflicts started and stoked by powerful world leaders, who are generally men
