Hey Sarah, well done for having the courage to write about this, given you'd been feeling afraid to do it. It's a big deal. I'm curious—how do you feel about tackling even scarier topics now?

I'm stumbling into this topic imperfectly here. I definitely feel the overwhelming weight and complexity of gender inequity. And I struggle to know what to say, like you point out.

I felt the weight lift slightly when you started describing real issues that affect men directly—"They want their daughters to have every opportunity. They feel sick hearing about women feeling unsafe walking home."—and I wonder how you might use concreteness like this to invite more men into discussion. Any thoughts?

Great job, Sarah! There are some fantastic tips here to help people support the message, I particularly like the one about amplifying women's voices in meetings.

I need to give Invisible Women another read, that car accident stat is shocking!
