It Takes A Strong Man… #notallmenaretrash

Bringing down the hashtag #menaretrash and realising that #notallmenaretrash. Last week was the first installment. Ruth-Mandy Abercrombie and I decided we’d like to expand on this. Consider this…It takes a strong man…

#NotAllMenAreTrash

He broke my heart. #menaretrash. He’s a deadbeat dad #menaretrash. He this. He that. Enough! Not all men are not trash.
