The narrative about men is only going to change if men step up and fucking change it.

Call out your mates when they make sexist comments. Put a stop to the bad behaviour of your male friends.

And the other part of this video i want to highlight is the part where he said "if you think this doesnt affect the women in your life, its not because its not happening to them. Its because they dont trust you enough to talk to you about it."

What are you as a man doing to let the women in your life know that youre safe to talk to about this shit? What are you actively doing to prove in advance that youre a trustworthy man?

I remember when MeToo had its brief moment before Hollywood and the media shut it down. Men were saying "psh, these statistics are all so overblown. I dont know a single woman who has been assaulted, but the stats are claiming practically every woman has." And then people told those men to go home and speak to their wives. To ask their daughters if anything like that had happened to them. To phone their sisters and mothers and ask if theyd ever been harassed or assaulted by a man. To check in with their female friends and ask the same questions.

And some of those men went and asked the women in their lives. And any man who did was shocked to their fucking bones to learn that almost every single woman they know has faced some form of sexual harassment or assault. That in fact for women, this shit is fucking constant.
