They don't care about that.

They disrespect women.

So this person goes on and says, telling predators and misogynists to respect women or shaming them is not going to make them stop doing the actions that they do.

Cool.

I feel like maybe it would a little bit.

I mean, also it isn't about just telling someone to respect women.

It's about the reason why these education systems and school systems are trying to enact programs or courses for young men to respect women is because, A, that doesn't exist as a default, but also because it's about systemic change.

It's not about –

Telling them in a class one time, respect women.

It's about unfortunately having to explain to them that women are people and women have different experiences to men.

Girls and boys have different experiences due to patriarchy.

It's seeing women as their equal, unfortunately, because society has told them that women are not their equal.

Even in like the way they would see their parents interacting.

Like it's always so shallow, this thought process that these men's rights activists have, obviously.

But they have this thing where it's like they think that it's an individualization thing again, I guess.

They're like these boys, this individual boy isn't going to change just because you tell him to respect women.

Okay.

No, I agree.

That's not enough at all.

But what could help these boys change is explaining to them domestic labour.
