I recognize as a man there's a lot of things that I don't have to think about. But I'm thinking about them now.
Nate ParkerAll I can do is seek the information that'll make me stronger, that'll help me overcome my toxic masculinity, my male privilege, because that's something you never think about.
Nate ParkerI'm trying to transform behaviors and ideas that have never been challenged in certain ways in my life. I'm not the kid that I was at 19.
Nate ParkerAt 19, if a woman said no, no meant no. If she didn't say anything and she was open, and she was down, it was like how far can I go?

It was simply if a woman said no or pushed you away that was non-consent.
