The challenge is to treat ALL human beings with respect. I changed my own flat tire, in a SNOW storm, in the dark. I would not have said "no" to help from a man or a woman. It did make me feel more confident, and capable.

On the other hand, most of us women have been raped, (a lot) and harassed even more. You cannot know when, or if, the person offering assistance is friend or foe, because that entirely depends upon his/her personal history and emotions.

As to choice, autonomy is ALWAYS best, as many millions and millions of wives do get pregnant despite using birth control. As laws are written it is actually made more difficult to obtain women' s healthcare, and men haven't stepped up to change this. Please do so, men, so you are more appreciated and respected.

Thoughtful people who see we all our human do their part for freedom and equality. #Me too has just begun to see the tiny percentage of rapists without consequence finally face a bit of consequence. Let's not forget that DT is a rapist and that particular crime is not one we even hear about any more.

Thanks, and be brave about complimenting, as all people need it more than ever,
