Ms. Que BanhIf 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:
https://disabled.social/@vlrny/116325171044986558
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.*

There've been a couple of cultural dust ups on fedi in the last few weeks and I just wanted to thank the men who've boosted and uplifted the voices of women calling bullshit, and especially those taking the time to talk to men individually trying to explain why they are out of line. Women often complain (justifiably!) about having to do all the emotional labour in social settings and it is just so beautiful to see men stepping up. Serious respect, mah dudes! 💪🧡 #tonicMasculinity
