This made me kind of sad. Please know that your truth would never kill my vibe! I am always grateful to gain a better understanding of the people in my sphere. I know we never cross paths anymore but I enjoy your posts, and appreciate your perspective. Note* I see that this came up under my husband's name-don't know why. This is Margaret Neher!

Great to hear from you Margaret! Thanks for reading and for commenting.

It takes a lot of effort to learn about people who are different from you, and I'm glad you're open to it. It certainly cuts against the grain of our culture.

One of the best experiences I had of this was attending open events hosted by the Women's employee group at The New York Times. I discovered all sorts of ways that I as a man had been negatively affecting my colleagues. And I also learned how I could better support the women in my life.
