No matter how you identify, if you continuously show up only to argue that women shouldn’t fight for our own health, opportunity, and safety, then the pattern speaks for itself.

This checklist names what true support looks like.

If these boxes stay empty, it’s fair to conclude you are not advocating for women or children — you are advocating against us.

12. Do you regularly advocate for sex-based rights in any space — online, in real life, with leaders, or in your own community?

  • ☐ Yes

  • ☐ No

  • ☐ Only when it benefits me


There is no scoring system. This is just between you and you. An opportunity to take a moment and consider how often and how deeply you listen to women and girls when they speak about their feelings around safety.

Bottom Line

If you never speak up for women’s or children’s sex-based safety,
but you always show up to challenge those fighting for it,
your actions communicate exactly where you stand.

Women and children deserve safety.
Not debate.
Not tone-policing.
Not intimidation.
Safety.

I encourage you to keep listening to a wide and diverse swath of women and children.
