To my brother who was almost denied an education because he was a boy and high school would be "too tempting".
To the fathers I know whose roles have been stunted and diminished because they are just "the dad", "an extra child", "incompetent to care for a child", you're grown ups. You can do everything your wife can besides breastfeed. Your role as a parent is just as important!
To the men and boys in my life who've been told repeatedly that they are weak for crying, perverted for looking and admiring feminine beauty and shamed for natural impulses and regular behavior.
Gender inequality hurts men too. Men can help, please go to http://www.heforshe.org and sign the petition.
To the men who call themselves feminists in my life, I applaud you. We need you. We can make a difference.
Listening to Emma Watson's heforshe conversation on Facebook today has been so illuminating, I encourage everyone to watch the series (links on her Facebook page) https://www.facebook.com/emmawatson
