None of us can do the right thing all the time. I mess up, and you'll mess up too. The key is to listen, recognize, acknowledge, educate, and activate.

My daughter deserves better
It has taken me years to shake off the apprehension about loudly and repeatedly calling this kind of thing out and trying to turn a mirror on other men who have yet to make any of these realizations themselves. For that, I am ashamed.
