I’ve mostly kept my mouth shut in this latest round of calls decrying misogyny after the tragedy in Santa Barbara on Friday night, but a variety of reasons. Chief among those reasons is the fact that I am a straight white middle class dude who is the absolute embodiment of “privilege” in American…

This is a great read that’s extremely (and almost eerily) similar to many aspects of a long conversation about sexism that I had with my fiance katie-the-cat-lady last night. The takeaway from that conversation—and from this piece, I think—is that you may be a good guy or even a great guy, but that doesn’t mean you can’t be a better guy. The more we all make our entire lives a study in understanding others the more we’re gonna make the world a better place. Start with yourself and never stop working at it and it’s gonna make a difference.

Be better, men. 

You remember that time when you were a kid and you were told by any adult that simply not partaking in bullying others was not enough? And that standing by and not saying a thing makes you just as guilty of doing the act yourself?

Women's rights people. And sexual violence. Men, speak up.

I love what this guy wrote. I love it so much.
