..."boys don't cry".
He said this at a NY Times event with a panel of Dem and GOP politicians and media.
As he said beyond this, "you can't talk about how scared you are (as a man)...at least Trump allows you to have an emotion besides shame".
This is was a powerful quote. As a man who lived my entire life internalizing everything, even the most painful of circumstances. Placing everything on my shoulders and then when I needed help, simple help and support, it didn't exist.
Imagine that there are literally dozens of resources for women if they have been assaulted by their mate, there were ZERO resources for men. Even though, evidence going back 50 years suggests that women assault men as much as men do.
This is why when we hear stories about Trump being accused of something against a woman and having to pay for an NDA. We hear the accusations against Kavanaugh etc, most men do not just reflexively believe it because we know how some operate especially in politics. This is the epitome of evil and you can be sure many knew it was false. My own wife threatened me multiple times if I ever reached out to speak the truth and I had been firmly been paralyzed by this threat.
Trump won because of men. Not only did men vote in large numbers but they convinced their wives and girlfriends to vote also on top of Trump being surrounded by Tusi, RFK etc.
Now as Van Jones has his son facing some of the same auto-bs men face, NOW he understands.
