Eve Ensler on the passivity of men

[seabeyond]

9. but even better, you can completely see it from a mans view and i think

what the woman is saying that as a man, you can speak for and to men, and be all over it from a mans perspective.

so when men are sexist and misogynist, you know as a man that that is not a biological action, innate of men, and as a man can speak out to men.

i have always felt that i have a responsibility to speak to the wrongs of women, to women, because i am a part of that group. i will be heard most because i am a part of that group.

just as i feel americans should stand up to americans. christians should stand up to christians. men need to stand up to men when their behavior is sexist and it not be acceptable.

nothing makes me feel better than to hear my husband say something out loud, for my boys to pick up, that is supportive of women. that is so much more effective than my voice. simply because he is a man, and understands the life of man.

thanks for your post. you made me think thru it a little more.
