I was wrong.

This is amazing! Gotta say he didn’t go where I thought he was going to go.

He’s amazing.

Thanks Demetri.

Awesome poetry!!

Very powerful stuff. I am in awe of this guy.

Edited because I realized that my post was an unintentional spoiler.

Thanks, Nevilledog.

I hope you won't mind my posting the YouTube video for those who don't do X but want to share.

I was trying to figure out how to find it on TikTok and this is so much better.

I shared this with my wife from my office almost simultaneously as she shared it with me from home.......

Wow, just wow. Stereotype shattered forever.

Then again, I remember the silly period in which boys got dolls and girls got trucks along with sex typed toys. The boys would hold Barbie by her feet and yell "BANG!" The girls would wrap a truck in a blankie and put it to bed. Yes, I personally witnessed both behaviors, along with the shock and disgust on their mother's face.

But he makes a good point, even if playing Barbies with a sister when there are no boys around is not what causes them to treat women like livestock.

It's male culture, that adolescent stew of pimples, unwanted erections, and a breaking voice that tells them they can cover it all up by being swaggering assholes who are vicious to girls. That's what grown men need to address. Maybe this guy will make a start.

from the heart...

WOW, WOW, WOW...

Send it to everyone you know, I have.

I love Spokenword. I do Spokenword. This is why Spokenword was created, for this kind of message and impact. I’ve never seen this young man but you can be sure I’ll find him!

Wow!

My son is a good man, but probably not so eloquent.

*rethinking my choice to let him play with dolls if he wanted to*

Thank you.

at the first comments, and realized that I had to watch it. Powerful! This young man is amazing, and I am almost in tears.
