I stand up against misogyny
and vile hated anywhere.

I stand up with an open
palm in solidarity as a man.

No more will I tolerate those
men who aim to bring women down.

I call it what it is–hate–wherever
and when it is found.

Be it boast, subtle, joke or threat,
it has no place in our civil world.

I call on all men who think as me
to raise our voices and bring this down.
