and that does not mean being a knight in shining armour to the woman or the old sensei teaching the way of the gun (or the knife or the fist or the sarcastic put-down). Yes, a man can intervene if another person, male or female, is being harassed or harmed or shown disrespect but that is not being manly, it is being human.

Men have to help by teaching other men to show the same respect for others that they show to men like themselves; they must help teach men not to rape, not even to give unwanted complements and not to touch another person without explicit approval.

But most of all men have to help by listening to women and actually noticing what they say.
