For years, the former president weaponized gender, celebrated toxic masculinity and encouraged degradation of women as a badge of honor. I challenge men to step up and lift up women. I urge you to break the chain of abuse, listen to the cries of your sisters, mothers and daughters, and send a weak man into the vaults of history.
I grew up with sisters and for years have spoken for women, despite being discouraged by men. Men support women as equal partners in decision- making and celebrate and encourage their perspectives, feelings and autonomy.
With more women in decision-making positions, our islands will become kinder, empathetic and considerate. Support a feminine voice in your family, in your neighborhood or in public office.
Vote for a positive future this election season.
