1. It is so good to see more women talking about this.

It's been so painful seeing the conversation dominated by men and funfems, who can't seem to grasp the concepts being discussed.

Anyway, I do have one issue with that comment. I do agree that having male allies is very important, but this: "demand that men act to protect their wives, mothers, sisters, daughters, their female loved ones" is a mistake IMO.

Appealing to men to care about what happens to women because some of the women who might be affected are women whom these men might actually consider human and deserving of consideration and respect, as opposed to sexual objects, is a harmful message.
