Ep 29: Proofs

"...as women wore cologne, men wore proofs: to secure their own sense of themselves, and thus to be attractive." -Wicked, Gregory Maguire What does it mean to "know" something?

Of avoiding bringing ourselves forward with more vulnerability and openness? How does it help to liberate us as white men specifically to work at shifting this way of showing up in the world?
