Re: But will it make a difference?

If it gets people talking about it, it will help.

If it gets a bunch of men talking about, even if they thought like this anyway, it will help.

If some people ask other people whether they have signed up and talk about the reasons why, it will help.

If one person going down that sexist, MRA path to misogyny stops for 1 second, thinks hey I really admire that <male celebrity> why is he going on about how good that sexist bitch is... Maybe I'll just read what he says...

If it makes a small difference and all it took was a speech, then surely that's a good thing.

Just because one person acting alone can't make a difference it doesn't mean they shouldn't act.

Especially so when it's one person calling for OTHERS to act.
