I’m on a mission to find out how men can be better allies for women because blokes do not appear to be much good at working this out for themselves.
If I told you a bloke was fiddling the books in your company, you’d be on it in a shot. But that’s not what happens when you tell bosses one of their employees is fiddling with women.
So awkward. But over the past few weeks I’ve been conducting an awkward experiment of my own. I’ve been talking to blokes about how to stop sexual harassment at work. I’m on this mission to find out how men can be better allies because men do not appear to be good at working this out for themselves. How do we know this? There were dozens of men who sat by and knew that Harvey Weinstein was doing the wrong thing and then did nothing about it. Yes, these conversations are worse than awkward. But we must have them. I’d prefer it if men had these conversations among themselves because I don’t wish to be their emotional handmaiden, neither mother nor wife.
