Thank you, Matthew, for writing such an aware and sensitive essay. If only more of the "But, I'm a good man" crowd would realize how important they are to making the world a better and safer place for women.

You have articulated wonderfully Matthew how to hold a conversation without any judgement when we are brave enough to look outside of our own lives. Not to beat ourselves up but to engage with other narratives that differ from our own.

One way to start toppling Patriarchy from the inside ~ naming and questioning. Both you have done. Many thanks, Matthew.

Thanks again Matthew. These statistics are mind numbing and so saddening. I really hope to hear the stampede of words following you soon but I won't hold my breath.

As ever, you've nailed it Matthew. Here's to positive change and to articles and conversations like this, that lead the way.
