Why do you think that is? And an example would be, recently I had a friend of mine say that men are less emotional than women and women are more emotional. And so I asked him why he thought that was the case, and he kind of froze up because he was expecting me to get frustrated, because that statement can absolutely be a bit sexist. But I just
Hey, I love that you came and shared this. I do feel like this question can make you feel like you have to be someone of super importance. But I agree with you. If we can make small changes in our everyday lives by having really constructive and amazing conversations without getting heated, then I think you're using your voice for change

Or it might take too much time to explain. Or obviously everyone has different moods and things, but I wonder if that's really starting to impact our culture and how we're starting to communicate with each other.

As far as education, I think we have a long, long way to go. I think we need to raise our sons to be better men. I think they. We need to put more emphasis on balance rather than over masculinity or some sort of macho ideology. I think we need to raise our women to be more capable of setting boundaries from the beginning. I think we need to raise our society up to a level where we can actually have conversation without it becoming a divisive discourse

Hello, this is India. I just want to share why I use my voice to influence other women. My story is pretty deep, and I've experienced a lot of storms, put it that way, in my life. And the lessons that I learned throughout all that I haven't endured and the wisdom that I have gained has brought me to a place where I can be that voice for women
