This week’s prompt is:
“This fear of maleness that they inspire estranges men from every female in their lives to greater or lesser degrees, and men feel the loss. Ultimately, one of the emotional costs of allegiance to patriarchy is to be seen as unworthy of trust. If women and girls in patriarchal culture are taught to see every male, including the males with whom we are intimate, as potential rapists and murderers, then we cannot offer them our trust, and without trust there is no love.”
― bell hooks, The Will to Change: Men, Masculinity, and Love
Not to be the bearer of petty pedantry, but could you either draw in a sentence or two before the quote, or edit the subject in like [this] such that it the “they” doing the inspiring is more clear? Not necessarily the most important, but it would help with readability, at least for me
