Mark Greene Quote: “These are the voices of men who have bottled up so much pain that self-reflection is seemingly impossible. You might as well stare into the sun. And so they blame everyone else.

Mark Greene Quote: “Not only do we men distrust others in this muddled realm of physical touch, years of shaming and judgement have left us distrusting ourselves. Did I enjoy that too much?

Often we give up and simply reduce those rules to being in a relationship.”

Mark Greene Quote: “Bullying is not some simple extension of male energy. It is not biologically inevitable. But when emotional toughness is our society’s highest valued personal trait, bullying is inevitable, because bullying is, at its base, an expression of loss, isolation, grief and jealousy. It is the rage of boys who are wracked with confusion. “What is suddenly wrong with wanting to be held, comforted and kept safe? Yesterday you held me. Today you pushed me away.”

Mark Greene Quote: “The crappy mass media narratives about men will continue. They will go on telling our sons, brothers and fathers that the way to be a man is through your wallet or your fists. Our responsibility is to add other stories and other ideas to the cultural mix. Yes, men can be tough focused warriors. But they can also be gentle and loving and playful and funny and sweet and yes, feminine. They can be healers and caregivers and poets and artists and everything else under the sun.”

Mark Greene Quote: “For the record, I track men much more carefully than I do women and for exactly the same set of reasons that women do, because men like to project power. And some men, a very few, like to project power by verbally or physically abusing strangers.”

Mark Greene Quote: “Boys are dumped on a desert island of physical isolation, and the only way they can find any comfort is to enter the blended space of sexual contact to get the connection they need. Which makes sexual relations a vastly more high stakes experience than it already should be.”
