Jessica WildFire your explanatory points here are worthy. The basic tenets of feminism are not that hard to understand.

But when it comes to SOLVING these issues for all of this, I politely disagree about what it’s all about.

Rather than considering them to be ‘dick faces,’ I feel a kind of empathy and compassion for the poor men raised in the man box who end up sad, lonely, and isolated. Because the man-box culture they are raised in traps them in this “dick-face behavioral trap,” willing to defend it to the death, and totally clueless why.

Let me be clear. I AM a feminist, and agree that smart humans interested in the survival of our species should also be — for all your many, excellent reasons.

And I’m also NOT apologizing for men’s behavior.

But I’m interested in solutions. Not revenge. Not even in controlling 50%.

The Little #MeToo Book for Men by Mark Greene is an amazing read. Every person interested in equality should read it. Like now.

Reading this book was the first time I ever really groked why more ‘good guys’ don’t stand up for basic decency.

It’s the first time I glimpsed the PURPOSE of sexist talk in the workplace. It’s awful, but it makes a lot of sense.

Here’s to a world where equality means something. And compassion has space to flourish.
