Dear Men: Please change. (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Dear Men: This is a book for you. It is about how you can change the world by changing how you choose to live among and with the women and girls in your everyday life. It's about how to stop dominating, and how to become a good friend and ally to women and girls instead. This book asks you to stop being an aggressor and make your relationships with women fair and equitable.

It's both a "how" book and a "why" book, all rooted in the real world.

Of Dear Men's three parts, the first and last sections suggest simple, daily actions men can take-and avoid taking-to value women as equals and partners. These are the how sections.

The book's mid-section describes the lifelong impact on one woman of one man's sexual violation. It is my personal story, and it makes plain what men's aggression costs women. It is painful to read, and it is truthful. This is a story told to be useful, to make a difference, to show you why it's important to change.

Men, the life instructions that open and close the book urge you to dedicate sustained, earnest effort to making sure not one more story like mine ever needs to be written. You can improve the wellbeing of all the women and girls in your life. Please change.

With hope,

Rona Roberts

P.S. When you do what is suggested here, your life will get better, too.
