10 Things Men Can Do Better For The Safety of Women

10 Things Men Can Do Better For The Safety of Women.

1. Expose Your Creepy Friends

Men are very much aware of who the perpetrators us. They drink with them, hang with them and have conversations about women with them. The day men start exposing predators, cases of abuse will go down.

2. Intoxication Is No Consent

If a woman is really drunk, she cannot consent to you and she also cannot consent to your buddy who seems to be trying something. Your buddy is your responsibility, so say something and intervene.

3. Don’t Touch Women You Don’t Know

Honestly, ask yourself why you feel the need to touch women in general. No matter how the woman is dressed, you have no right to touch her. Let women be!

4. Stop Feeling Entitled

Do you feel that any woman on earth owes you something? She doesn’t. Even if you’re like, “Hm, but what about basic respect?” ask yourself if you’ve shown her the same.

5. No Means No

Should you pursue a woman and they say no, leave them. There is nothing like playing hard to get, no simply means no. If a woman has not given an enthusiastic “yes” to sex, back off. Also if a woman says no to a date, don’t ask her again.

6. Don’t Make Misogynistic Jokes

You need to deflect, call out, and combat those small little sexist comments that you might think are harmless. Sometimes, a sexist encounter isn’t a drawn-out argument, it’s just a throwaway comment. “Nice work, sweetheart.” Act like these old, sexist ways are an exotic foreign culture with which you are unfamiliar.

7. Don’t Talk Over Women

Women have been silenced for years. An opinion from a woman is always disregarded. So even when women suffer abuse, they remain silent because they are never taken seriously. When you see another guy talk over a woman, say: “Hey, she was saying something.”

8. Use Your Status To Protect Women

Women are regarded as weaker vessels that need protection and nurturing. Real men should protect them. Be aware of your inherent power in situations and use it to protect women, especially via talking to other men.

9. Apologize Sincerely

If a woman tells you that you messed up, and you feel awful, don’t put it on that woman to make you feel better. Apologize without qualification and then go away.

10. It’s Your Duty To Do The Right Thing

If you do the right thing, don’t expect praise or payment or a pat on the back or even a “thank you from that woman”. Congratulations, you were baseline decent.
