Hello boys. 5 things you can do to be allies on #IWD2020

1/ When you are debating with a woman please consider that she might be better qualified than you. Before you ask her whether she’s read your blog perhaps check whether she wrote the book you quoted in it.😂
2/ Respect a woman’s lived experience. It’s not tricky. She’s a woman. You are not.

So. When she tells you her experience don’t dismiss it. Honestly - you don’t know better. #IWD2020
3/ Don’t go on about men’s rights. Of course they matter. Human rights matter (if you don’t think that this thread not for you anyway). & of course individual men suffer & we need compassion & support for them.

But society structured around men’s rights. Please don’t deny this.
5/ Don’t talk nonsense about tick box quotas & lowering standards because conferences, publications & curriculum leads want a range of people. (Unless you really think best of ‘ever been thought’ only been thought by men 😂😂)

You’ve benefitted from this tick box for years 👇
