#HandsOff in #Doylestown #Pennsylvania. Great turnout for a small suburban town. Celebration of diversity, civil rights, and freedoms, and determination to speak up and fight for what this country has aspired to be. "This is what America looks like! Hands off!"

This incisive paragraph (ss).

The "masculinity narrative" that implicitly demands we validate their pernicious grievances is disrespectful to them in that it rejects their agency, not to mention disrespectful to ourselves in that it silences ourselves.

No easy way out. We must confront the truth.

"It's not about you" is cruel precisely because it is well-meaning.
