Author Rachel Giese: 'If we believe in gender equality, if we want to eradicate gender-based violence and discrimination, and if we want a world in which everyone feels safe and feels encouraged to be their full self, then we need to understand how the rules and norms of masculinity affect how boys and young men feel and behave. The last few years, with the rise of #MeToo, we have seen an opening up in our conversations about sexual assault and sexual discrimination. But our proposed solutions won't be effective without engaging boys and men in this important work.'

A calm wind ruffled the branches of some of the largest trees in the world. It twisted and turned through the forest, picking up scents of cedar and spruce—even a faint tinge of salt, this close to the Pacific Ocean. Late afternoon sun had burned off any lingering mist, leaving a clear blue sky, writes Harley Rustad.
