From the conversation:
"The system of gender roles that we have just does not work for us. The things that I was taught about what it means to be a man, some of them fit, but plenty of them don't." -- Toby Fraser
"Masculinity and confronting or even talking to let alone challenging other men always feels like 10 words away from a fist fight. So there's a lot of fear underneath stepping forward." -- Toby Fraser
