HOW TO TREAT WOMEN BETTER: A GUIDE FOR MEN

(October, 2017) Nicole Silverberg, who writes on a website called Reductress.com, has a list of ideas on how men should treat women better.
– Talk to your friend who is “kind of a creep” at work.
– Don’t talk over women.
– If you are asked to be on a panel/team and see that it’s all men, say something. Maybe even refuse the spot!
– When you see another guy talk over a woman, say: “Hey, she was saying something.”
– Don’t call women “crazy” in a professional setting.
– Don’t touch women you don’t know, and honestly, ask yourself why you feel the need to touch women in general.
– If a woman says no to a date, don’t ask her again.
– If a woman has not given an enthusiastic “yes” to sex, back the hell off.
– 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.
– 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 decent.
– Involve women in your creative projects, then let them have equal part in them.
– Don’t make misogynistic jokes.
– Don’t expect women to be “nice” or “cute” and don’t get upset when they aren’t those things.
– Don’t make assumptions about a woman’s intelligence, capabilities or desires based on how she dresses.
– Pay women as much as you pay men.
– Don’t get defensive when you get called out.
– Don’t send pictures of your penis unless she just asked for them.
* Well, there goes everything funny I was about to say.
* So, basically, stay home.
* Sounds like female sterotypes are out the window, but Nicole wants men to go back to being gallant and chivalrous.
* Bonus points if you can talk like Cary Grant.
* This doesn’t mention anything about not taking a bath in front of women, so I guess what Harvey Weinsten did was OK.
* PHONE TOPIC: Ladies, anything to add to this list?
