Day 19

The reminder of how much toxic masculinity exists in our world is unwelcome.

My heart is heavy with yesterday’s history. I’m angry, and I know I’m not alone in this anger.

The rhetoric of ‘masculine energy’ turns my stomach. It shouldn’t be praised, shouldn’t be elevated.

Yet here we are.

And there he sits on a throne he hasn’t earned, gloating and proclaiming himself the world’s solution.

It’s heartbreaking, America. Because you put him there.
