You know what would be cool? If men who are working for change-radicals, progressives, activists, especially white men could for once not say a god damn thing at a meeting. Just be there and be supportive. We (white straight males) have no idea what it's like to be silenced by the dominant culture (for we are priviledged by it and it tells us that our voices must be heard), so simply as an experience, white, straight, males in a group should decide amongst themselves which meeting this could happen in,

and then don't speak for the entire meeting. Feel the urge to add your two cents come bubbling to the surface and resist that urge. Realize that the meeting will work without your voice. Listen to other people who are now speaking that never have before, and recognize that maybe there's a reason for it.

Try it. It might be the hardest thing you've ever done.
