Wow. That’s a powerful speech. Makes me think of so many things. As a father to 3 kids, I know I have a huge role towards the confidence my girls develop and the way my son expresses his feelings. The facts presented really support that. The problems we are having with male suicide, domestic violence and substance abuse and the link to a lack of good male role models, which we need to be to each other as much as our kids.

Finally to my late father. He had me late in life and was retired before I entered school - so he was always around to spend time with, setting an example of how to be a good man, saying he believed in me. Never realised it at the time to tell him, but very grateful to have had him so present in my life.

There's a big issue here.She says "We have to knock off the dad bashing because it's hurting our Children", guess what It's hurting the dads too**.** I know Men are "oppressors" not even human by feminist standards, but at what point can we say "Hey Men are people too, they don't have to be a utility for us to care about them".

The rest of the talk was good, but I didn't want that point to go unnoticed. People say "Respect Women who are useful to you" they say "Respect Women", but never under any circumstance do they say "Respect Men".
