"..Meanwhile, there were myriad permutations on “why do women stay in these relationships?” and not one question of “why do men bash?”, an expectation women must answer for the abuse they receive rather than the men who perpetrate it."

This is a very important documentary every one should watch: 

Tough Guise: Violence, Media & the Crisis in Masculinity

Let's unpack our boxes of masculinity and free ourselves from the cultural and societal expectations on what it means to be masculine.  Let's create and transform ourselves and define a new masculinity by embracing our humanity and take off the 'tough guise' we put on. The world is changed by your example.  What kind of human being do you want to be? Is your identity dependent upon the validation of  others, by the victimization of others?  Then lets transform that, create alchemy and be human beings with honor and integrity. No more fear, no more shallow guise, free ourselves to reach our full potential.

Anil Dash, on Medium:

I followed a nearly equal ratio of women and men, but retweeted men three times as often as I retweeted women. This, despite my knowing how underrepresented women’s voices are in the areas I obsess over, such as technology and policy and culture. I could do better.
