What this chamber has taught me about women:

To women who post: Thank you for having the courage to raise your voice. Thank you for letting me glimpse into your lives. Thank you for the gift of empathy. You are doing something important, and I really don't think you are crazy.<br><br>To the women in my life: This chamber gives me a new perspective on you. I realize that the innocent questions I used to ask you about why your lifestyle choices are "feminist" now seems really dumb and offensive. I didn't realize how much sexism affects everything in your life. I didn't realize how much sexism hurts you. I apologize for my ignorance, and I apologize for my sexist behavior. From now on, I will try to be more considerate and more supportive of you.<br><br>To my mother: I just realized that I wouldn't be alive today if it weren't for your sacrifices. I wouldn't be who I am today if it weren't for your influence and support. I love you very much, and thank you for all that you have done.<br><br>To my sister: Your strength and courage inspires me. I'm very grateful to have you in my life, and I'm honored to be your brother. I will support you no matter what.
