It is true that many men are afraid to change. It is true that many men have not even begun to observe how patriarchy prevents them from knowing themselves, being in touch with their feelings, loving. To know love, men must be able to let go of the desire to dominate. They must be able to choose life over death. They must be willing to change.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEveryone needs to love and be loved, including men.
