Put yourself in a woman's shoe for a day

Funny thing how the brain works. I saw this post of Greg Laden (which was also also pointed earlier by Bora) and it reminded me the promo video of this year's March 8th in Turkey
See:


The video quotes:
"Put yourself in a woman's shoe for a day"

Fact: One out of three women faces domestic violence everyday. The more we push the gender differences and draw a thick line between the two, the less likely that this fact is going to change.

If only boys could only grow up as fast as girls would they realize real men don't hurt others regardless of gender. When it comes down to it, real humans don't hurt humans. Duh its INHUMANE.

At least real men like Greg Mortenson, who believes that educating women means educating a community, are doing things positive for the world and giving men a better name than those who abuse others.
