On masculinity, misogyny, and the possibility of change.
WRITING THAT EXPLORES healing, intimacy, and justice through a feminist lens.
WHERE REPAIR MEETS AUTHENTIC INTIMACY.
WHY I WRITE
It only truly landed for me when a client said, “You’re helping me heal from the wounds inflicted by the men in my life!” – that I, too, have a responsibility to do what I can, however small, to help mitigate the harm and trauma so pervasive in the world today.
I don’t see men as the problem. Some of the most beautiful humans I know are men. The problem, in my experience, is patriarchy.
I see patriarchy as the first trauma boys and young men endure – shaping everything that follows. It’s the root of the pain later inflicted on others and the world.
And so: BEAR PHILLIPS, The Feminist Love Coach.
I write about how misogyny and masculinity shape our lives and interfere with the connected, loving, and authentic relationships we long for and deserve.
One of the frameworks I often return to is Rupture & Repair. It’s a core principle in intimacy, which applies just as much at the societal level.
This work, this writing, this space – it’s all part of moving toward repair.
