Yet they are addressed, in the overwhelming majority of cases, only by women\u2014mainly due to obvious reasons of concern and fear. [\u2026] It\u2019s clear that avoidance and escape are the most common strategies among the male population, just as it\u2019s evident that the killing of women at the hands of men has more to do with men\u2019s problems with themselves than with the specific women involved, who become\u2014as patriarchal culture teaches\u2014tools for self-assertion or obstacles to self-assertion.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cSo men, boys, all males need to take responsibility for these difficulties, gather in circles, and begin to look at themselves. From sexist and homophobic jokes all the way to violent acts, there is an entire universe of behaviors not only to dismantle, but above all to question\u2014to go and see who is the person underneath who wants to be heard. [\u2026] They should do that thing that is so important in any culture and society, and even more so in this historical moment, in this society: work on themselves.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>#civogliamovive<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Sara E.
