Watch Men Talk About Sexism & How to Stop It

Oftentimes, men are overlooked in the movement for gender equality. SoulPancake is aiming to change that with its series #ThatsWhatHeSaid.

They got together a group of men to talk about various aspects of sexism. The Huffington Post reports that creator and director Anabella Casanova wanted to provide a space for men to talk about feminism and be part of the movement.

The men had a powerful discussion, including times when they themselves were sexist or let someone else's sexism slide. They came up with the hashtag #CheckYourBoys to remind each other to identify sexist behavior in conversations with other men.

"I believe it is equally as important in the efforts of feminism to raise good men with a balanced understanding of masculinity and feminism as it is to raise strong women," Casanova told the Huffington Post.

We totally agree, and while it's not always comfortable to have these discussions (or even to watch other people having them!), it's super important. The #ThatsWhatHeSaid videos are an amazing reminder that men can and should think deeply about feminism and how they fit into the prevailing systems of privilege and power.

"We talk about sexism as if it’s a women’s problem," one man says in the video. "It’s women’s problem to deal with, but it’s men’s problem. Sexism is men’s problem."
