This is the flip side of something I write about constantly, the idea that recognition often arrives before language does. It sounds like the same thing is true for the men watching it happen next to them: the body holds the disruption long before there's a story to explain it. "The fix lies not in movement but in holding still" might be the most useful sentence a man could read about this whole transition.
Great piece, Simon! And I absolutely love the closing line, "Understanding that the fix lies not in movement but in holding still." This is such a good reminder not only for men but also for women who are natural born fixers!

Thank you. I really enjoyed the conversation with Natalie.
