<\/a>I just love this event!\u00a0 I love the fun that comes with raising awareness to this ugliness of abuse.\u00a0 I love seeing these men walk in high heels a\u00a0 mile!!!\u00a0 There’s a lot of\u00a0 craziness in this world.\u00a0 Yet events like this give hope that there is goodness, love and willingness to help.\u00a0 I copied the rest of this post from the website\u00a0 Put Yourself in Her Shoes <\/em><\/strong>website.\u00a0 This is something that seems to be happening in many communities.\u00a0 Please consider being a part of it as there are various ways to participate and make a difference.<\/p>\nPut Yourself in Her Shoes\u2122<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n Each year, an ever-increasing number of men, women and their families are joining the <\/span>award-winning<\/span><\/a> Walk a Mile in Her Shoes\u00ae: The International Men’s March to Stop Rape, Sexual Assault & Gender Violence. A Walk a Mile in Her Shoes\u00ae Event is a <\/span>playful<\/span> opportunity for men to raise awareness in their community about the serious causes, effects and remediations to men’s sexualized violence against women.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n First You Walk the Walk<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n There is an old saying: “You can’t really understand another person’s experience until you’ve walked a mile in their shoes.” Walk a Mile in Her Shoes\u00ae asks men to literally walk one mile in women’s high-heeled shoes. It’s not easy walking in these shoes, but it’s fun and it gets the community to talk about something that’s really difficult to talk about: gender relations and men’s sexualized violence against women.<\/em><\/p>\n Then You Talk the Talk<\/em><\/p>\n It’s critical to open communication about sexualized violence. While hidden away, sexualized violence is immune to cure. Unfortunately, it’s difficult to get people talking. People unfamiliar with men’s sexualized violence against women don’t want to know it exists. It’s ugly. People that have experienced sexualized violence themselves want to forget about it. How do you get people talking now, so they can prevent it from happening? And if it’s already happened, how do you help them recover.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This morning I woke up extremely exhausted and disturbed.\u00a0 I was dreaming of my dad being physically abusive to us and trying to figure out a way to escape his craziness.\u00a0 My dad has passed on in September and I … Continue reading
