This comment was by Christopher Reiling in reference to the post – ‘MeToo’ Isn’t About Us, Men.
Thank you for this and I 100 percent agree with you! I was searching for an article that I could point other men too, and I’m glad I came to GMP first. The accountability piece is huge, and I wonder if a major a contributor is that some men just don’t have good male friends, and I don’t just mean drinking buddies, I mean loving, trusting relationships with men.
I’m going to share this on social media and suggest that all men take a pledge publicly to women. I was going to use the hashtag #iPromise, but #IWill gets there faster and I don’t want to reinvent the wheel.
– I will ask my partner how I can be more supportive
– I will call out other men, even if they’re strangers and especially when they’re friends or family
– I will ask for permission
– I will stop being the problem
