There are so many things I want to scream out of rage and disillusionment right now. But that is not what is most productive. What is most productive is being an intentional part of the solution. 

The solution is to dismantle rape culture. And it starts HERE. 

It starts with how we are raising our boys. 

Now.

Today.

It starts with the conversations you’re having with your sons and the behavior you’re modeling.

Is it a big undertaking?

Yes.

Can we do it?

Yes.

In this episode, I explain the exact (science/research based) parenting my husband and I are committed to because we are committed to not raising a rapist. 

If I had a daughter, I would want to know that every boy, young man, and the older man she was in contact with understood and valued these guiding principles.

Please listen and share with everyone you know who is participating in any way to raise the next generation of men.
