[QUOTE="Emelee, post: 88204, member: 73"] Ome, please don't compare feminism or terrorism in any sentence. And what you should do, as a decent human, is to stand up to someone when you hear them say something nasty. Say "that is so wrong" or something like that. Never stay silent and let it slide. If a friend of yours makes a crude remark, speak up. If you see someone at the pub being an a-hole and no one seems to bother, then you bother. That is: never let someone get away with it. Never laugh at a crude joke. Write that you object when you see someone say something really bad on social media. And yes, as a parent, you tell your children what is right and what is wrong. Preferably when they are still children and under your care. Parents need to tell their sons to respect all girls and women (and other boys) - and they they are there for them if they need to talk, or be hard on them if they misbehave. Parents need to tell their daughters to treat boys and girls with respect and that they will always be there for them, but correct them when they screw up. So no, you don't have to write a letter to the PM or only discuss things with your own family. You need to look at what happens around you and step in when you see or hear something bad. And if you haven't ever seen or heard something, I bet that you haven't seen or listened close enough. [/QUOTE]
