One of the most important distinctions we can make is this: The man in front of you is not the patriarchy. He is a human being shaped by it. Just like you. His emotional capacity, his shutdown, his defensiveness, his inability to cry might be the inheritance of a father who was never allowed to feel. Of a lineage of forced masculinity. And your grief, your rage, your fear may be carrying generations of lived experience as well. When we stop personalizing the macro wound in our micro relationship, compassion becomes possible. Then we can meet as lovers. As allies. Not as enemies reenacting history.
