Women have endeavored to guide men to love because patriarchal thinking has sanctioned this work even as it has undermined it by teaching men to refuse guidance…A useful gift all love’s practitioners can give is the offering of forgiveness.

We think there's a good case for doing it now. We want to do it in an overall fiscally responsible way. ↗
