Getting Beyond the ‘Menemies’ Mindset That’s Damaging Us All

Description:

Worried about the current gender wars? Wanted to do the right thing but felt worried about getting it a bit wrong and getting cancelled? Felt (but dared not say it) that it's others who have the advantage now and you're the one suffering - especially if you're a straight, cis, white man? You're not alone. The irony is, millions of people are feeling that way men and women, cis and trans, gay and straight, and non-binary folks. And too often, that fear is manifests in enmity. and anger. But there is a way we can get past the menemies mindset and build a world that works better for all of us.
