Freya, you say 'The people the message is supposedly for aren’t even in the room.'

This is one of the biggest problems - polarisation and echo-chambering.

Hardly anyone follows people they don't agree with.

The men you are writing about won't read this.

The girls won't hear or read the words of those men.

I haven't yet worked out how to solve this, but I think this is one of the problems we must solve before our world falls apart completely.

It doesn't just affect your audience, the girls.

It affects us all.

I’m afraid I don’t really understand how you are helping yourself and your fellow young women by seeming to focus on the pain and victimhood of what you perceive as your predicament. I hope, as an articulate woman and good writer with many followers you will start to share the solutions that you and they personally can take, as blaming society or others doesn’t solve things. I look forward to reading them.
