I listen and speak per my ratio of ears to mouth; you will make more 'observations' this way.<br />But there are so many flavors of feminism. <br />I think these men who don't engage may find themselves at a great disadvantage - in our lifetime, within our society. Today's white dude must evolve.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5461044.post-11768118850694746532010-09-03T16:10:39.493-05:002010-09-03T16:10:39.493-05:00Rachel:

And that's, just as you say, largely because men are less likely to listen to women.JRBhttp://ladypoverty.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5461044.post-56911533469084477532010-09-02T14:56:49.626-05:002010-09-02T14:56:49.626-05:00Rachel, it may be a bitter irony to you, but it is...Rachel, it may be a bitter irony to you, but it is a sweet irony to the white dudes who can lend support that is out of proportion to their abilities due to their "white dudeness". I have come to believe that my principle obligation in all encounters is to keep an open mind because I have learned that you never know what package the message will arrive in, or who might be receptive to a well thought out, respectfully delivered observation.driphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14182879631506288757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5461044.post-82467474006585738412010-09-02T14:26:32.728-05:002010-09-02T14:26:32.728-05:00I thought you were a woman for several months when...I thought you were a woman for several months when I first was referred here from IOZ, which is as good a compliment as I think I can give online.<br /><br />Men are also important in feminism because, as in other areas of life, they tend to be listened to. It's a bitter irony that my husband's repetitions of my ideas are all that might sway people into, eventually, listening to me.Rachelnoreply@blogger.com
