11. I had an Emily Litella moment with the title

I read “no tall men” and couldn’t figure what it was about.

That being said, having read the post I, once again, am ashamed of all the horrible things men do, especially white men.

Please know that I am trying to help as much as an old, white man can.

As the father to a teen daughter, there is so much that I am oblivious about the life a women lives. I have never once thought about safety at night, walking alone, entering a parking garage, etc. And to be honest, I felt shame when I began to understand.

So from this “average height”, white man, know that you are not alone and hopefully some day soon this will change. It does have to happen on the men’s side for it to happen though. Much like racism isn’t a minority issue, it’s a white issue. Misogyny is a male issue. We need to do better.

It will take a massive realignment of our teaching curriculum to combat this disease. cayugafalls Mar 2021 #9
Back when I taught "women's literature," we tackled this need for realignment at the classroom level ancianita Mar 2021 #14
