I am impressed that you had some solutions to offer people to stop this social problem. So many times people talk about it and do not offer a solution or a form of solution. I am an optimist too and I believe there is always a solution. David P.S. I just wrote a blog note about the bystander effect located at http://thewondertechnique.net/2009/10/27/the-bystander-effect/ to keep spreading the word to stop it.

I've been a feminist my whole life, but only recently starting being a bit more serious about it, putting up with less of that kind of humor. It's hard. It's so easy to say, "Well, that's not right but it's just so tiring and annoying to go around correcting people" but then I feel unsatisfied with myself. In that situation, I probably wouldn't have said anything to the group but would have said something in the car on the way home. I'm so grateful that we have women like Nancy Pelosi and Hillary Clinton who aren't afraid to stand up and take that abuse and shove it right back, even though their reactions just get further misogynistic reactions. It's going to be a long battle but little by little it's moving. I have the same experience often.

I've been reading your posts for a while as well as reading "The Shadow King" by Sidra Stone per the recommendation of Sera Beak, and it's like the old metaphor of the fish seeing the water for the first time. I've always KNOWN things made me uncomfortable or didn't seem quite right, but I never knew why. And posts like these are part of the reason I know why now. So... thank you :) I just wanted to let you know that you shouldn’t feel discouraged just because you’re frustrated, because blogs like yours are opening up eyes – or at least mine.
