• even if we remain impotent to what is a fucking bullshit part of life that doesnt seem to be changing in the near future.

    Don't be too defeatist about it, though. You absolutely have the power to help, by being a decent human being and encouraging the people you know to do the same. It's not slipping into a phone box and then bursting back out again with your pants on over your trousers and your jaw set heroically, ready to fix everything in one fell swoop, but it's what makes long term socio-cultural change happen.

  • I know. It's just difficult. I didn't mean to sound defeatist. I just mean it's not going away so I can't bury my head in the sand but at the same time it's wider cultural change that is needed and is obviously much harder to affect on a personal level

  • I think even being aware and mindful of the problem is helpful. There's plenty of good stuff out there online about men and feminism (remembering that feminism isn't about man bashing, but about equality for all), and what you can do.

    Been wanting to post this comic for awhile, seems like as good a time as any!
