In this powerful conversation with Khatija Dadabhoy, we speak about our undying love and devotion to men collectively, seeing their greatness and welcoming them into their greatness, despite both of us having very difficult and hurtful experiences with men.
We share our stories around relating with men, starting from childhood, why we feel like women still have faith despite being hurt, and what our grand visions are for the future of the relationship between men + women.
We also speak of:
- Our inner longing for redemption
- Our desire keeps it alive, this continued search for union with men
- Women needing to be clear about what they really want from men - we are sending confusing mixed signals
- Men not trusting women’s word - how many women are not truthful and transparent in relationship about what they want, need, etc.
- The problem of men shapeshifting into what women want - instead, knowing who he is and operating from that place (and how this actually makes him trustworthy)
- Men stuck collectively in an immature dynamic, not fully mature men. What is preventing them from growing into a full grown man taking responsibility, etc? Lack of male initiations as in the past, and strong male mentors?
- Women: checking our rescuer/caretaker (fine line between inspiring him and controlling him)
This was an important conversation where we try to see the bigger thing, take ownership for our part, and also reflect on where men can step up. Let us know what you think - reach out to either of us with any comments or questions. Thanks for listening!
