> Men, do better! If you are in a position of power and want to be an ally, educate yourself by reading Entitled [3] and doing training on inclusive governance [5]. Even if you think you are a nice guy, there are plenty of other guys out there that are not so nice and dealing with the aftermath is much worse than preventing the harassment in the first place
I find statements like this frustrating. I do all I can to counter-act sexist behaviour and speech around me. There's not much else I can do. I'm not in a position of power. The people who need to do better are never going to read this and they aren't going to care. So they continue being assholes and I continue to get to share in the blame. It's just demoralising. Whatever I do is never enough.
- sneak 2y agoI personally find the attitude of guilt by association to be unfair. There’s of course the argument that you can’t be racist or sexist or whatever-ist against the dominant group. I am not sure if I subscribe to that belief.
- bitcharmer 2y ago100% agree. And this antagonizing attitude may lead some men to change their stance from supportive to neutral or worse. It's like you said, what's the point if you still get called sexist or other derogative. On social media being misogynist gets you banned and being misandric gets you upvotes. What a time to be alive.
