Dear men: You need to go beyond "supporting women" and "being an ally." You need to champion women. Hire women. Promote women. If you're sitting in an office that's 80 percent male at the upper levels, you are not championing women enough. I'm sick of hiring nice guys say 'I don't do the hiring.' If…

'Work for change, not cookies,' should be everyone's life philosophy. People fixated on praise, rather than the hard, painful work of meeting a goal, make a lot of fuss but get very little done.
This is what's awful: thinking about just how much talent, how much art, has been lost because women are forced to exit due to powerful men's shitty behavior.
Digital media start ups are imploding. Alt weeklies are shuttering Glossy mags facing huge cutbacks. Find the journalism you care about and SUPPORT it.
What the hell’s wrong w/all these men? What happened to romance, the art of seduction? Sexual harassment is a pathetic power play, plain wrong and a lazy man’s answer to getting a girl. Real men know how to attract a woman, NOT attack a woman.
Part of the problem is people thinking that sexual harassment is about romance or seduction to begin with. It's about power, intimidation, and the belief that women don't belong in "male" spaces. It's also about punishing women for exercising sexual autonomy and turning down men, which is made extre…
Sexual harassment is not an inevitability. The narrative that men can't help themselves is insulting to men. Prove it wrong.
We need an accounting of the economic toll of sexual harassment and workplace abuse on women. Having to turn down new opportunites instead of working with a harasser. Losses in productivity. Getting fired for reporting toxic behavior. Choosing to quit altogether.
One of the toughest parts of this fall has been realizing that so many male colleagues assumed our careers didn't take off like theirs because we were less talented.
teach your boys that they should be kind to other people and that hurting other people is bad. they need to hear it from you explicitly. don't just teach with words. SHOW your boys (yes, boys in particular) that you respect them helping more than you respect them dominating.
Any weapon we develop to kill ‘those people’ will always eventually be used to kill ‘our people.’ We need to think carefully not about whether these things should be legal but whether they should exist in the first place
A lot of us look like we are thriving but are just barely making it. Know that you are not alone in living with this.
Smart writers understand that writers aren’t any smarter than anyone else.
there are a lot of bad stories out there doing real harm in the world it’s up to us to tell better ones
Seeing some fellow men saying weird shit like ‘no one’s safe from this,’ but, um like my dude people who didn’t assault or harass anyone are safe.
Not everyone is going to like you and that’s okay. Just remember that they’re probably stupid.
Dreamers are leaders, teachers, innovators, and scientists. We must do what we can to give them a path to citizenship.
We should be rewarding work in this country, not doling out lavish tax cuts to big businesses, CEOs, and bankers.
At your pace, on your terms. Your happiness and safety are paramount. Sending endless love your way.
