Men, in particular, are encouraged to remain silent. The slogan that the "personal is the political" is often associated with women. But, of course, the insights of feminism are not the exclusive property of women. I feel there is so much potential for transformation if men can have the courage to speak their personal truths as you have.Polly Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17304530368261218878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6708375.post-83886658354875537892007-04-16T23:34:00.000-04:002007-04-16T23:34:00.000-04:00Powerful stuff, indeed.

Thank you for having the courage to be honest. <BR/>I grew up next to a CFB and always wondered why the kids from 'the Base' seemed a little reluctant to make friends. As the years passed I grew to better understand that they knew what I didn't: why be buddies if, in a year or two, your Daddy might be 'posted' away to anywhere from Comox to Cold Lake or Bagotville to Lahr, West Germany? It must have been hard for you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6708375.post-83844203201011075422007-04-15T21:17:00.000-04:002007-04-15T21:17:00.000-04:00Thanks to both Pretty Shaved Ape and Dave for a pa...Thanks to both Pretty Shaved Ape and Dave for a pair of post that are powerful and humbling to say the very least.Rev.Paperboyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14561796588927776371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6708375.post-16450127549115876692007-04-15T13:57:00.000-04:002007-04-15T13:57:00.000-04:00and thank you dave. if it weren't for your post i ...and thank you dave. if it weren't for your post i would still be mulling my thoughts. the power of what you wrote brought this to the front. i needed to get this said, you gave me the courage to say it.Lindsay Stewarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13461043718147845594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6708375.post-59853555965532990332007-04-15T13:26:00.000-04:002007-04-15T13:26:00.000-04:00Thanks for this PSA.

My parents know nothing of war, but both of them decided that the cycle of sexual abuse would stop with them.
