Female version
Enter the 'men's world' such as construction, engineering, transportation, politics and cunningly slide in policies and designs that come from the women's perspective, which is nothing dramatic because, yes we think of all genders, not just men.
Don't say anything to men who say women and men are not equal. (You secretly know that you are much much smarter, have you heard their conversations with each other?)
The one that everybody fears: Be so vocal about equality among the genders that you get death threats. Drink wine every day to pray for the haters.
Find a partner who actually appreciates you as just that, a partner, no gender versions and roles needed.
Love Malala.
Bring all women together towards ending gender-based violence, abuse, assault, attack, prejudice.
Get smart about how to help our world be equal, gender-wise, before you die.
Remember, it has been a struggle, but what we have so far is an accomplishment (a lousy one. but still something). Always remember to take advantage of what you have.
Be independent. Help your other half in mowing the lawn or fixing that toilet.
If you have children, give them a non-gendered learning environment.
Women, be each other's support. Share wisdom and okay, fine, some DIY tips.
Male Version
Yes, do not expect your girl to cook for you just because your mom used to, instead of your dad.
Take both your son and daughter to that Packers game. Tell their school to have a co-ed football team.
Love your uber feminist woman. Don't misinterpret feminism. It's not superiority, It's equality and creating an atmosphere for equal opportunity.
Do a favor and try not to call women 'Dumb'.
Never let her talk to you in a voice lower than she actually has.
Dress nice, cook, clean like she does, together.
You and your video-games: If you are a family person or want to have one, please allocate certain times for it. (Probably only 0.000001% of your week.) Unless the whole family plays video-games 50% of their week.
Support her career and aspirations as much as she does for yours. Also, ask her how her work was just like she asks you everyday.
Be best friends with your sister.
Disclaimer: I am certainly not an expert. But this topic is sensitive to me, growing up in a society that is extremely male-dominated. Feel free to add in your own ways that help get the point across.
