"Doing more for boys & men doesn't mean doing any less for women & girls. That’s the kind of zero-sum thinking that is doing so much damage to our politics & to our culture. We can think two thoughts at once. We can do two things at once." My TED Talks: youtu.be/fXsOlAYvgh0

"We can think two thoughts at once". In fact, we *must* practice thinking 2 thoughts at once, if we hope to repair our relationships, social fabric, and economy. None of us can "know" the experience of all others - but we can care, we can listen, we can learn. cc:
