How We Know You Are One of the Good Ones
Not every man is a father.
Not every father is safe.
But youâyou show us what safe masculinity looks like.
You donât just protect childrenâyou position yourself as protection.
You make the world better by how you move through it.
Hereâs how we know who you are:
â
You donât just avoid harmâyou actively prevent it.
You step in. You speak up. You create barriers between danger and the vulnerable. You donât wait for âproofââyou follow your spiritâs nudge and take action to protect.
â
You examine your own pain so it wonât spill onto others.
Youâve done (and continue doing) the hard inner work. You donât pass your wounds down to children as punishment. You heal so they can be free.
â
You donât seek access to childrenâyou earn trust slowly and respectfully.
You understand that being around children is a sacred privilege, not a right. You donât bypass boundaries. You donât manipulate your way in.
â
You show up with honesty, not hidden intentions.
You donât wear masks. Thereâs no bait-and-switch with you. You are exactly who you say you areâand thatâs rare.
â
You correct other men. Even when it’s uncomfortable.
You donât just ânot do harmââyou help stop it. You hold other men accountable in locker rooms, group chats, and boardrooms. Silence has no place in your integrity.
â
You donât make children responsible for adult emotions.
You never burden kids with making you feel special, needed, or loved. You give freelyâwithout expectation of praise, attention, or obedience.
â
You make spaces feel better just by entering them.
You bring calm. You bring clarity. You bring safety. Youâre the reason someone feels okay leaving their child in that room.
â
You know that children are not for consumption, performance, or fantasy.
You protect the innocence of children. Not just physicallyâbut emotionally, spiritually, mentally. You never use a child to meet a personal void.
â
You are not offended by boundariesâyou help build them.
When someone says ânoâ or ânot yet,â you honor it. You help children build a strong âNOâ of their ownâand you teach them that itâs a sacred thing.
â
You do the work with no audience.
You arenât here for claps, clicks, or camera time. You do whatâs right because itâs who you areâeven if no one ever sees it.
To all the safe, sacred, steady men who show up for children:
We see you. We need you. We thank you.
You are living proof that protection can be gentle. That power can be safe. That love can be honest.

Happy Fatherâs Day
