When you've been accused of s*xual assault, harassment, or misconduct by 60 women, claiming that it was always consensual is either driven by an enormous blind spot in your awareness or a lack of courage in asking for forgiveness.

Men of power who abuse the people around them in these ways do not deserve the protection that other people's silence offers them. It's about time the pendulum of justice swings in the direction of the victims.

Harvey Weinstein surrendered to New York City authorities on Friday to face charges related to alleged s*xual misconduct.

As women enter male dominated fields, these types of changes begin to occur. Eventually, the stark divide between business and family will soften and hopefully lead to better policies for all parents.

A historic rule change passed Wednesday allowing the newborns of Senate members into the chamber. Its passage without objection came despite plenty of concern, some privately aired, among senators of both parties about the threat the tiny humans pose to the Senate's cherished decorum.

One consequence of being told to "man up" is a desire to die. The su***de rate of boys goes to 5x that of girls around 15-16 years old, which is the exact same time they stop expressing love, affection, sorrow, longing.

When boys are told their feelings don't matter, some of them shut down their desire to live. Allow boys the same room to feel as you might give girls.

The world we live in can break your heart. But allow light to shine in the broken places and choose to rise again.

“The privileged group is the one that needs to do the work.”

Men talking to men about s*xism. This type of peer education is an emerging part of a national conversation about how men and women experience the world differently. I love and support it 100%.

We can consciously choose to create a world in which on a daily basis we unleash the fullest expression of kindness and empathy from our girls and our boys.

We must believe in a world that is kinder and safer and then lean into making it real.

The dark side of seeking significance, status and notoriety is that it typically requires the exploitation or destruction of others.

Add in an online tribe of people built around celebrating the one who causes the most destruction and it enables the worst kind of echo chamber.

As a teen allegedly slaughtered 17 people in Florida, a judge was deciding whether another accused school shooter in South Carolina should be tried as an adult.

“Love people even when they don’t deserve it.”

There is a loneliness that drives rage and when that rage is given access to weapons, bad things happen. But a moment of kindness, of recognition, of standing up for someone being bullied can mean the difference between life and tragedy.

I've been informally interviewing men to get a sense of how they're perceiving the campaign. It's been eye-opening and a bit worrying as both men and women adjust to the rapid cultural changes.

It’s getting real in here.
