I've been asking my male friends to do something - *watch if the first response to everything a woman tells you is to refute, say no or something negative* One texted me later: Holy f*ck The problem is, constantly putting up with unwarranted resistance is bad for mental health.

@KatherineBook @InOrderOfImport @DefineStrange @BillieBook TBH that would be a lovely idea and probably much appreciated.

@InOrderOfImport @DefineStrange @BillieBook Wow. Reading that makes me feel like the union at our store should try and reach out to booksellers at her store to see if they need any advice.

I'm so fucking tired of this in my trade newsletters every single day. Owners actively disdaining workers, most especially marginalized workers, and so much white, cishetero handwringing over free speech.
