This comment is clearly about a single experience because it does not come close to summing up the whole at all. History tells it that men in the majority were not so loving and all-sacrificing.

I’m from the old school where I watched the women in my life being abused and abandoned for other women. My grandfather left my grandmother with 10 kids and started a new family with a 16 year old just a few blocks away — and some of those kids were the same age as the ones he already had. And this was after years of abusing her, including throwing her down a flight of stairs while she was pregnant with my mother, who was born developmentally delayed as a result.

Social media is highly influential, no doubt. But some of that influence is a good thing. Women deciding they don’t want to be treated like objects and property anymore is a good thing. Women choosing themselves is a good thing. Men being held accountable is a good thing. Yes, there are improvements to be made across the board.

And even that does not sum up the whole of today’s experience. But this story about women of today being all bad and men being victims?

Nope.

Any chance you're putting all these tunes on a daily Playlist that could be listened to without the scroll and click? Thanks for all you do.
