A challenge for men.
Engage your male friends, family, colleagues about the Ford/Kavanaugh hearings.
Ask what they thought. Remain neutral. Listen.
Do they sympathize w Kavanaugh? Express doubts of 35yo allegations? Wonder why it's relevant to his nomination?
Yes?
PUSH BACK.

Yes?
PUSH BACK.
It's important to push back because our culture is at stake.
It's not just about if the GOP will confirm a judge who will vote against Roe, LGBTQ rights, and healthcare.
All of that is massively important, but it's out of our hands.
We're at a pivotal moment in rape culture.

We're at a pivotal moment in rape culture.
What's rape culture, you ask?
Blaming survivors. Putting their characters on trial. "Boys will be boys."
Raising our daughters to be agreeable and our sons to be aggressive.
The false belief that good men don't do bad things.
If you're a man, you benefit from all of this.

Have you been listening to pain expressed by women?
#MeToo #WhyIDidntReport and more.
Women are doing all the work pushing back against our culture.
Of being angry an abuser may be on SCOTUS.
That one man's career matters more than the damage he's done to women.

So here's the challenge, men.
Push back against the toxic beliefs of other men. Get in arguments.
Talk about the culture of white male privilege that protected Kavanaugh.
Talk about why survivors don't report.
Talk about holding perpetrators accountable any way we can.

Talk about holding perpetrators accountable any way we can.
We live in a society that refuses to punish men for bad behavior.
The justice system fails. Sexual violence is normalized.
What's the solution?
It needs to become categorically unacceptable in our culture.
It starts with us, men.
It starts with those difficult conversations.
