Solidarity:
I don’t believe in gender wars or segregation — but I do believe in naming patterns when they show up.
Lately, what I’m seeing is this:
more and more women are stepping into the role of protectors. They’re the ones putting themselves at risk, safeguarding others, speaking up when harm is happening, and acting with moral integrity — often at great personal cost.
At the same time, I’m seeing fewer men stand beside them. Too many stay silent. Too many become wallflowers when abuse is happening right in front of them. And too many seem to reserve their energy not for helping, but for judging others online.
This isn’t about attacking men as a group. It’s about accountability.
In my view, all genders should carry the responsibility to challenge injustice and protect the vulnerable. Moral courage isn’t gendered — but silence in the face of harm is still a choice.
If someone has the energy to be cruel, dismissive, or mocking online, then they have the energy to help. To intervene. To amplify voices that are already doing the hard work.
So the question is - why are women so often the only ones fighting for justice — and where are our male peers standing with us?
Solidarity isn’t passive.
Integrity isn’t quiet.
And justice doesn’t move forward on silence.
We raise our voices because we have to.
We fight because justice has never been handed over politely. ❤️
