I'd LOVE it if men got involved and chose to change their behaviour,
and their peers' behaviours.

In my experience, though, if females attempt to change male 
behaviour - the male behaviour gets worse. So I'm inclined to let
the males who /are/ sympathetic//equalist take charge of the male
change.

If you have ideas for things women CAN do, though.. I'd love to 
know them. Other than 'be present and visible and competent', I'm
fresh out....
