This is such an important topic, and one that in my opinion isn't talked about nearly enough. I really appreciate the very authentic and vulnerable way with which you started this piece, and immediately related to your audience. You demonstrated a really great use of pathos, and it created this feeling of empathy and a sense of how important this is for me, even as a non-male person who hasn't gone through this personally. This then pulled me to read further. I also really love the way that you closed this speech with that last line discussing how this limits one's potential altogether.
