The energy that you are feeling. The rage, the grief, the protectiveness is not meant to be felt and consumed endlessly through your screen, into a pit of despair where they want you. It is meant to be channelled. Brought back into your own body, into your home and into your community. You protect your own children. You teach them. You listen to them. You believe them. You speak up when men speak abusively. You shut down misogyny instead of laughing it off. You stop normalising patriarchal dynamics that rely on women being smaller, quieter and lesser. You refuse to continue cycles of abuse within your own relationships, families and communities. You refuse racism and exploitation, not online as a performance but in real life, in real moments, with real people. You use your voice. This is not insignificant. This is not small. This contribution by you is huge. If every person took the clarity that they are gaining right now and anchored it into how they live, how they parent, how they relate, how they show up, the ripple would be vote the ry te undeniable. Shared values do not need a leader, they need everybody doing their part. Pt2
