It is the awareness of my own imperfections—my capacity both for mistakes and for learning—that allows me to “speak man.” This mode of discourse examines mistakes men make when relating to the female experience, without shaming or judging them for what they do not know. At the same time, it asks men to bravely examine their own assumptions and to educate themselves. Men’s failure to understand the female experience isn’t a moral failing. It is simply a natural result of living within a patriarchal society. At root, however, society is made of individuals who possess an infinite capacity to change. Inviting men to consider what needs changing in them—through the process of their own insight—is a way to trigger institutional transformation.
