So when men say they don't share their feelings because they'll be "weaponized," "misunderstood," "ridiculed," or "judged," look at the women around you. We share the same fears, but it doesn't stop us from doing the emotional work.

Also, can we talk about the lack of visibility of women being held in ICE custody from media outlets. It really gives the appearance that only men are being deported and/ or these women are inconsequential bc even in this instance the patriarchy is hard at work.
