Stop Trying To Please Everyone!
You'll never not piss someone off with who you are and what you believe, so instead of figuring out who to please, maybe figure out who you'd rather piss off? I want to piss off people who want their own way with everything, I want to piss people off who exploit others for their gain, I want to piss others off who want to rob dreams and hopes of others, I want to piss people off who think it's OK to hurt others for their pleasure or wreck people's lives for a moment of hideous indulgence. I want to piss off the people who make the world a worse place for them being in it.

The Human Evolution Paradox
I wish politicians would focus on how they are "good" rather than why everyone else is "bad."
Sorry but it's democracy at work... It's our collective fault... We often vote against who we don't like rather than voting for who we do... It's said it's much easier for us to decide what we don't like rather than what we do. The theory of why is we take more notice of threats than friends (evolution). As the political parties have done more market research over the last 50 years, they're just responding to us and our behaviors, unfortunately with the amount of data mining on human behavior, it's now self perpetuating, un-evolved instincts continually poked by our modern genius... Surely humanity's most humble paradox.

Let's see each other not as gender but as humanity.
We need to teach our sons the difference between:
a woman who compromises him and a woman who will compromise with him
a woman who will stand on him and a woman who will stand with him
a woman in need of a parent and woman in need of a partner
a woman who expects everything from him and a woman who respects everything about him
Then we need to teach our daughter's to be that women.
Men V Women.
How to tell when it's a fair point? Reverse the genders... If the advice is both true and powerful regardless of if it's directed at male or female... It is not about gender, rather about humanity
The difference between collective and individual.
A man raping a women is an individual action, the attitude towards it is collective.
A women belittles a man to the point of suicide is individual action, our response is collective. Both are important, but to swap individual and collective is deadly.
A man who raped a women turning into a collective is men can't be trusted, all are potential rapists... Then a man defends that he and others like him are a good guy with the swap, he is now and individual which means he holds no weight or authority only making him and his kind more guilty.
We may never get rid of individuals actions, but our goal as a collective is to be surprised about male / female inequality, to be surprised when a man does something to a women (or the other way round) that we are surprised and shocked that a women got attacked at night in a park by herself... Let's be surprised as a collective that a man does something bad against a women and distrust the individual not the whole gender.
