Dear Women - a short film from ConsciousMen

Here is a lovely, moving, hopeful short 8 minute film wherein men talk about and apologize for the long history of wrongs against women. The film has mostly Euro-American men in it and one African-American man. It would have been nice to see a more diverse cast. But nonetheless, Euro-American men have typically held all the power in our society, so this is a good start.

I remember as a Girl Scout leader some years ago, we were discussing women in political offices and leadership roles. One of the girls asked me, "How many female presidents have there been?" I hope someday we do see equality for men and women on the planet, and for people from every ethnic background.

I decided to include this film in my blog, because although it does not deal with mental health issues overtly, many women suffer from a sort of general malaise that comes from living in a patriarchal society. I felt this was healing.
