177 – Men Have A Critical Role…in making a change

We have all heard jokes about women. Jokes that highlight some of our differences in a way that paints women as inferior. The same is true of many racial jokes, or jokes about gay people or disabled people. These kinds of jokes are one of the things that perpetuate the underlying idea that some people are of less value than others. These jokes are not always told with intentional malice. You may be just trying to make someone laugh, but the underlying message of the joke is harmful, and destructive. I think everyone, every person, should have the same opportunity as any other person, that people should be judged solely on their merit as a human, and not their gender, orientation, religion, or race.
