RE: Education is the key to ensuring Time is really Up
I agree that many times it is placed on the shoulders of women to evoke change. For true change on a massive scale, it wil take men to self correct their behavior. I believe it is up to us women to voice and establish the rules of engagement and for men to respect them.
Are there "rules of engagement" though? Don't we just want to be treated with respect, and listened to? I thing the danger with rules is that everyone is different. Everyone likes a different approach to sex or relationships. But everyone likes being respected and listened to.
For example, we don't have "rules of engagement" when it comes to any other aspect in life, why should sex be different? Men seem to be able to treat other men with respect in the work place, or on the street, or in the shop, or on the dance floor. Why can't they extend that same courtesy to women? This article explains it very well, I think: https://medium.com/@annevictoriaclark/the-rock-test-a-hack-for-men-who-dont-want-to-be-accused-of-sexual-harassment-73c45e0b49af
I agree, so it’s not “rules” we women necessarily want, just the aspect of respect. In the same breath, maybe the better term should be guidelines for men and women engagement. As we continue to voice our concerns and desire I believe that it will lead all of us, male and female better insight on how to have respectful engagements. I will read this article as well thank you for sharing.
