Do...My hats off to you James for taking such steps. Doing so requires patience, vulnerability, strength and courage in the face of fear, ignorance and hate. I strongly suspect, given responses to my post, that your approach will not always be welcome but instead will be greeted by fear and suspicion. It may also be perceived as a way of you, as a man, "helping" women, instead of engaging in a process of inquiry, mutual understanding and collaboration to work on resolving a problem. The key is to keep being vulnerable and curious while also stating the boundaries of respect you need, as an individual, in order to engage in the discussion. I will also say that your approach of enquiry, listening actively and questioning your assumptions are welcome! Looking forward to discussing this further with you and others.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07885534983193272080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4264000582864812814.post-70674785786646307612014-09-29T11:07:36.816-07:002014-09-29T11:07:36.816-07:00Emma's comments on men feeling unable to ask f...Emma's comments on men feeling unable to ask for help resonated with me. I was such a man and saw how my desire to hide my vulnerability led to personal self-denigration and affected my interactions with those around me. My willingness to a accept this help was a first step to re-examining my perceived role as a man and human being. To now enquire, listen actively and question my assumptions - and to continuously progress on these fronts - is how I feel I can contribute to this initiative of changeAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01778852735106198648noreply@blogger.com
