We find an ongoing epidemic of male violence against girls and women, from sexual assault to domestic violence to sexual harassment on the street, at school, at work. It's a continuing threat that makes it almost impossible for girls and women to move freely and with ease in their communities and often in their own homes. We are right in the middle of this gender trouble, and so are our parents and our siblings and our best friends and our teachers and our coaches. We can't help it. The box is ours now.
Gender inequity is real.
It is oppressive. It is everywhere. It does damage to us all. It isn't cute or charming. It isn't natural.
