I am highly allergic to cowardly men, from all/every background. I especially have zero respect for cowardly white men, who grew up with many privileges that were never open to women like me. I'm angrier at non-white, cowardly men - who should/often do know better but still choose to not use their male privileges to do anything much to help non-white women/children who suffer under patriarchal crap. I'm angrier at them because they choose to protect their personal privileges over doing better for non-white folks with lesser privileges.
Men - it's your job to teach other men to brave the hell up, much more. They dismiss voices of women, almost all the time.

If any of you #men following me missed my mutuals' post - expressing gratitude for men who stepped up & helped take on some of the emotional labour than women have shouldered - please read it, first:

Then - make your own decision on whether to be a silent enabler of misogyny or a comrade to women who have to deal with misogynist wankerbutternoodles here.
You also can choose to support anti-ableism by speaking out against it, in public (like many women already have!) or keep on silently enabling it by choosing to be friendly to ableists who are also misogynistic.

Many women & disabled folks are watching. We notice who steps up & who does not. You can do better than stay silent about misogynists - as men - that call has to come, loudly, from within the mens' arena. You can do better than silently enable ableism - that call has to come from non-disabled folks.

Stop being OK with letting women & disabled folks take more hits - because you lack courage to take some of the emotional labour off our overburdened backs.

*You're supposed to feel some discomfort reading this - if you've failed to use your privileges as men to do better than be silent enablers of your fellow men.*

True #courage requires you get a bit more comfortable with being fucking uncomfortable for a brief time. #BraveUp

True courage is literally looking fears in the face & saying - I'm scared but I need to do what is right for this community & for the peoples. It's literally holding your own hands & braving up yourself to walk through that fear wall. It is never absence of fear. It's knowing it's worth it to challenge your own fears for greater good.
