An Apology To The Men Who Feel Scared In Today's World

I'm truly sorry you have to be responsible for your actions.

With all that's happening in today's society, it seems like men are starting to feel a little frightened.

But, why?

Is it that they've done something in their past that is shameful and they're afraid someone now has enough courage to speak out? I mean why feel afraid if you have nothing to hide, right?

The only reason to be scared in today's world is if you've done something wrong.

Women are coming out and speaking about their traumas and experiences for a reason. They want their voices to bring about change.

A world in which men respect women and respect their choices.

Imagine a world where women can walk alone to their car at night, go to a party alone, or simply feel comfortable enough to walk down the street without getting bothered.

The only way to move towards a world that is loving and not demeaning towards women is to point out what is unacceptable. If something traumatic has happened to a woman and she has enough bravery to speak about it, no matter how long ago it happened, we should listen and support her.

If we are going to try to make a better world for future generations we have to make a change now. We have to speak out about what is unacceptable so everyone can learn from it. There will be consequences for actions and that should be kept in mind when someone makes a horrible decision.

If people keep getting away with the wrongs they committed, we will not create a change that betters society. People will believe their actions won't catch up to them and what they do now does not matter.

So I'm sorry to the men who feel frightened, but maybe don't give yourself a reason to be scared.

After talking to a few of my friends at college, I realized that a lot of them don't really have "Christmas traditions" in their family, and I want to help change that. Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way.
