Men taking over IWD? #imyourally

For IWD tomorrow there’s a campaign for men to ‘take over’ social media and show how they’re allies to women. Their mission states ‘we’re taking over social media to hear from the young men of today about the women that inspire them.’

Am I the only one who thinks this should not be another space for men to take over and assert their viewpoint?

There’s loads of posts already on LinkedIn…and they’re full of people praising the men for how great they are to do this…..is this what IWD is about now? Men?

There is no need for men to "take over" social media, it is already dominated by them. Using their leverage on one day a year is a piss poor effort imo, and no man should be praised for it. Maybe try amplifying women for 365 days, just a crazy thought.

I would do but might damage my professional standing!

This is always the problem.
