Wanna know how not to advocate for women’s equality? Take a look at Summer Brennan’s rant:
What I'm seeing right now online is that the women complain of misogyny and men rush in to silence and control them.

Gosh, if you accuse men of being misogynists when they’re not, odds are they will ‘rush in’ and correct you. Being corrected is not being silenced or controlled … often it’s a learning opportunity.
Which, is funny because, the thing they are complaining about right now is how women are so often being silenced and controlled.

The only people we see complaining about this also think there are 57 genders and that men can have babies. *shrug*
Here is another option for men. If you disagree with a woman, you could also just … not say anything. Try it for a day, see how it feels.

EH OH EL.
Let women say what they want and DON’T say anything back even if you know they are wrong because misogyny or something.
Because there may be more in your impulse to correct her than you are aware of.

Or she may just be wrong.
Crazy right?
As a man in a tie, I can say these things. Okay friends. Now take some time offline.

Hopefully she took her own advice.
Or you could…correct them. Just like anyone else would be corrected if they're wrong. That's what they want right? To be treated the same?

Special is not equal.
Agreed.
You are asking us to treat women differently, when in fact they are our intellectual equals.

oh, this is beyond ridiculous.
if someone is wrong, then they are wrong and it is ok to tell them they are wrong.
the truth is not sexist.— mark propp (@damosuzuki1) September 10, 2017
Truth is not sexist.
Facts are not sexist.
