It's either there and you can't see it or I'd taken it off the day before for a massage and forgot to put it back on. It's still here around my neck. ;-)

Quote: "For far too long, men remained silent about the issue. Somehow they feel [...] it's not their problem. If it's not their mother, not their sister, it's not their issue". Violence against women is also a men's problem.

MEN'S OPPOSITION TO VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN:archives(dot)cbc(dot)ca/acces/400d(dot)asp?id=1-70-398-2240-00Context: For 45 minutes on Dec. 6, 1989 an enraged gunman roamed the corridors of Montreal's École Polytechnique (University of Montreal) and killed 14 women. Marc Lepine, 25, separated the men from the women and before opening fire on the classroom of female engineering students he screamed, "I hate feminists". 2 years later a white ribbon campaign was launched.

someone once mentioned to me..."men use love to get sex and women use sex to get love"...i'm not saying i agree with this statement, it just got me thinking about how the two genders may perceive sex.

You're right, absolutely. I think society needs that change in men's attitude. But it will take generations to see the change on a global scale. It sounds like a revolution on a daily basis doesn't it? But it's for the best. Count me in.

Oh my. Kimberly, I apologize.

Kimberly, I sent another email to your youtube inbox, yesterday. (Like a conclusion to this weekend's mess or something like that).

In message to you that has "Accountability" as the first word in the subject line I gave you my personal example of how I learned how to treat women, and how I'm passing that on.

I've had dozens of speaking engagements, some of which were aimed at educating men in the hopes to reduce sexual assault. I've written articles, I've pushed for new rules at my university, I've spoken out every chance I get. But you, as men, are going to HAVE to be the ones to change it. For your daughters. For your wives. For your sisters and your mothers. For your grandchildren and all the generations to come.
