@branthansen listening to your and Sherrie’s podcast and I am so on board with your adopting the 82 chihuahuas. I am 81 chihuahuas away from that same goal.
I know this will be dismissed by some as sexist, etc. But this is what I taught my son, and I don't regret it:
You have a role: Protector.
Defend women. Defend children. If you exploit, hurt, bully, pull power plays... you are betraying the very reason for your strength.
