The way this 18-year-old man spoke to me about women blew me away. He walked into my studio on International Women's Day in March this year, and he was eager to talk about the respect he has for women and his experiences he's had with women in his life, "I really enjoy the complete acceptance that I feel when I'm in the space of a woman who is allowing me to be completely raw and vulnerable and open." He then went on to say, "More than anything pride kills love. Pride is an absolute destroyer of love and to be gentle is to be in that space where you can begin receiving what you need to receive and given what needs to be given. Personally I believe women need gentleness... a gentle spirit, a gentle touch because to be feeling overpowered by a man is to be removed from your place of power yourself."
