Who Will Teach Our Boys?
Our
boys seek attention, self-promotion,
visibility, and personal power.
Our
boys deem others inferior, visibility, and personal power.
thus they abuse, neglect, or exploit others.
Our boys use fear and coercion to influence others,
and to gather followers.
Our boys act with reckless impulsivity and impunity,
despite harm to others.
Can we men demonstrate maturity, responsibility,
accountability, and respect for
others?
Can
we men condemn the immorality of violence?Can we men express and encourage
compassion and empathy?
Can we men demonstrate our humanity by pursuing
the rights and well-being of others?
Can we men actively create
a more just, less violent world?
Can we men teach our boys?
