Those who love you are not fooled by mistakes you have made or dark images you hold about yourself. They remember your beauty when you feel ugly; your wholeness when you are broken; your innocence when you feel guilty; and your purpose when you are confused.

MM: So in terms of men playing roles in the feminist movement, what kinds of roles do you think they should play?
ST: There are times that I think men should definitely not hold back, and here are some examples: donating money. They should not hold back. They should donate lots of money to progressive organizations and feminist organizations. They should not hold back in shopping ethically, and voting with their dollars in terms of feminist politics and ethical consumerism. And I think men have a really important role talking with other men about violence prevention and everyday steps and things like that. They can donate their time and energy by putting their feet on the street and showing up for demonstrations and events that are women-centered, gay-centered, trans-centered, queer-centered. But when it comes to talking and those leadership positions, that is where I say step back, be quiet, listen more and talk less. And I think if we can have a conversation around that and bring more awareness, I think a lot of men who want to be feminists are like, ‘What should I do, I’m kind of scared, I don’t know what to do.’ One message can clearly be donate more money, donate more time, talk to other men. But in terms of taking up space in the room and talking at people and taking those key leadership positions, consider stepping back, consider listening more and consider talking less. That would be really appreciated.

My belief in positivity is bigger than my anxiousness about negativity. Anxiousness exists, I am human after all, not omniscient. But it’s the belief that positivity will overcome that makes all the difference. I hope you will join me.

Sometimes things happen. Things happen even when you don’t intend them to happen. Maybe at the beginning you had good intentions, or intentions you thought were harmless but before you knew it things got out of your control.

A person is a poet if his imagination is stimulated by the difficulties inherent in his art and not if his imagination is dulled by them.
Paul Valery -
If you bring together a producer who knows what they want to take to the market, a screenwriter capable of developing creative cinematic ideas, and a good script editor… that is the way to develop movies. A team of people getting the core idea right, before the actual scripting process takes place…
