My example is just one in an infinite list of them.
We need men to question their own behaviours because I can guarantee you the entire hockey team would tell you to your face that they believe women deserve equal treatment. JUST LIKE WE WOULD.
So if we’re outwardly the same as the men in that video then we very likely hold beliefs the same as them. Conscious or unconscious, those biases likely exist and we need to confront them on an individual level.

USA men's hockey team wins good, and then they make fun of women. Or if you're upset about it and you're a man, this is what you need to do. Don't complain about it. You figure out where you act like they do. Yeah. I mean it. These guys might be exceptional hockey players, but where they are like us is how they grew up. They grew up in a patriarchal society thinking women are lesser than they are. If we want things to change, we have to look at what we do. We can't just look at a video from Milan and say say those guys are bad guys. We grew up in the same background. We grew up in the same system of thinking that women are less than men. So if we want to make a contribution to a safer more equal world for women, then we have to look at our own behaviors. You know, we listen to guys like Scott Galloway who say that men shouldn't be in the delivery room or that they don't deserve pat leave, and we need to reject behaviors and thoughts like that. That's where we can help, not just complaining about dudes in Milan.
