Sure. I'm not an expert on many things, but I'm an expert on myself. I am a survivor of sexual violence by men, as a little boy. I'm also a survivor, in the 1960s, of very physically harsh punishment in my home.
I was able to find a way through others to heal, by being in the service of others. I'm very proud to say that as an adult, I have never laid hands on a woman in anger. I've never touched a woman in anger, or hurt a woman or a child. It is possible to grow up in a toxic environment and change, and to be part of the change rather than the problem. It is possible, and it's happening. We're doing it.
