You develop a little courage, so that if you decide, 'I will not stay in rooms where women are belittled; I will not stay in company where races, no matter who they are, are belittled; I will not take it; I will not sit around and accept dehumanizing other human beings' -- if you decide to do that in small ways, and you continue to do it -- finally you realize you've got so much courage. Imagine it -- you've got so much courage that people want to be around you. They get a feeling that they will be protected in your company.
