I think that overall I need to start seeking out more books that call out bad behaviors. But that’s not how it is and I appreciate lines like that when I see them. There’s this idea in my head that I shouldn’t be congratulating this author for being so frank with his words, this should be common place and not abnormal. ![]() It’s scary to me how many men are raising sons to treat women like objects. Right now I can think of two men in my life whose sons will be raised aware and one of them hasn’t even had their first kid yet. But I feel like more people need to understand that children learn their behaviors from us. Maybe the lines hit me harder because it’s been an insane month in the US. I wish that more were open to seeing the damage done. To see it written so blatantly, in a poem and that poem talking about the generations before and changing for the future, surprised me. It’s not actually that often that a male author writes about playing a part in the role of sexism, at least so far in my reading experience. ![]()
