I recently posted here about issues DH and I were having.
The upshot is, I put my foot down and he's started engaging with feminism.
It's been a very strange process so far. He has been totally knocked over backwards by the whole thing and I am finding it very weird to see how much it has affected him.
I think it would help me to discuss what's going on with us, and how I am seeing and experiencing his navigation through this journey.
So far, he's read "Our Blood." At first he was quite analytical about the whole thing and my heart sank because I could see he was just taking it on as theory. That changed though, slowly, and he started to get it. The tough part for him is that the scales have fallen from his eyes and he's seeing it everywhere. Which, as we all know, is an essential part of the process.
I'm curious if anyone else has gone through something like this with a partner or a male friend?
