He learns that his core feelings cannot be expressed if they do not conform to the acceptable behaviors sexism defines as male. Asked to give up the true self in order to realize the patriarchal ideal, boys learn self-betrayal early and are rewarded for these acts of soul murder.”― bell hooks, The Will to Change: Men, Masculinity, and Love“live simply so that others may simply live” - bell hooksFor Harriet YT Channel 27:28 - Farewell Carol Kofi MannTwitter @KforKofiInstagram @Kofi.xxYOUTUBE Email - Thoughtsaloudpodcasts@gmail.com

    Talking to yourself is not a bad thing. At least that's the conclusion I have come too. I may be wrong, who knows. I often find myself talking to myself usually within my home but every so often in public and often about anything and everything. Whether it be the movie I just watched, a social interaction I had moments before or snickering subtly about a joke I just told myself. Sometimes it just helps to speak your thoughts aloud instead of keeping it all in. I say all of that to say now I'm going to start documenting it, recording my inner thoughts and allowing those who care, to listen. Talk to yourself or talk to me and listen in, to Thoughts Aloud with Kofi.
