Grapple: to seize another, or each other in firm grip (verb)
I came across the word grapple on October 30th during class, when reading an article called ” What Feminists Can do for Boys.” Which briefly explained reasons on kinds of feminist examples that boys and men can benefit from. Towards the end of the article, the word grapple came up, I had no idea what it meant but reading the sentence, ” Until we grapple with how to stop misogynists themselves” I guessed that grapple had something to do with grasping information, and I was close. However grapple does only have to be used to grasp information, but it can be used for other cases too. The author wanted readers to know that in order to stop boys from becoming misogynists, we should grapple the present ones. Thanks to reading this article, I can now add grapple to my future vocabulary.
