JD. See... I always knew you to be one of the good ones. And there are a number of "good ones" on Medium and within my hanging-out orbit.

Thank you for writing this piece. We need more and more and more men to write about this and related topics. It definitely will make significant steps toward improving the problem(identified by you in this post).

The part I highlighted above. This "two conversation thing" happens so frequently and has happened way too much in the past. That, and other unacceptable behaviours, have gone the distance to create the inequalities and mistreatment ( and worse) women have suffered for too long. The time is right to fix this.
