@OtherSociology@ashleymaier Disturbing that the language of including men is starting to have an implied threat of 'or else'. -

@lewti@ashleymaier Remarkably frightening. Creating a safer world for women should not come at the expense of making "allies" comfortable. -
@OtherSociology@lewti Oh, the stories I could, and likely will, tell. So many women leaving this work b/c it's not safe. Ironic, no? -
@ashleymaier@lewti Letting paternalism & silence determine how men can be coaxed out of violence is a no-win. Thanks for speaking up!
