To the women that ask good men to fix the bad men of society, what specifically do you envision good men doing that will make the difference you wish to see in the world, and how do we train good men to do this?

Investing time and morals into their male children the same way they do for their daughters, a lot of boys end up the way they are because they were told to pick up a mitt or a football and tough it out while they tell their daughters to behave well and reach out if need be

Holding the bad men accountable and calling out their BS would be a good start. Explaining why their jokes and rhetoric might be harmful to women, why their actions are flawed and encouraging empathy are all important. A lot of men don’t want to listen to women and shrug them off, but this isn’t true for their male counterparts 🤷🏽‍♀️

Yeah, I think that’s incredibly important for future generations. Our society is only as good as the people we make. Is there anything you think that can be done with the current generation that’s already mostly grown up?

That’s for sure. I’m curious what lessons you feel are being taught to daughters that sons are largely missing? From my own personal experience, I feel the stereotype is actually dads being unwilling to discipline their daughters, but maybe that’s wrong or maybe it’s something mothers more often do?
