Thank you so much Habiba, especially and as you mentioned women probably should not do the heavy lifting on issues around sexual misconduct. I want to take the opportunity for especially men to reach out to me if they want to talk about these issues. I am especially keen to hear from men who have mixed feelings about recent events in EA. The reason for me doing this is so that I can hopefully do something useful to improve the situation in our community. But before I do any “fixing”, I want to understand what I am stepping into and what I am attempting to fix.
I should perhaps also mention that my previous self was no angel when it came to the treatment of women, so I think I am especially good at listening to men who have conflicted feelings (but I should say that I think I have made progress on becoming a better person—I aspire to be an ally).

Thanks so much for making this offer Ulrik! I think it is really helpful for there to be a range of folks that people can reach out to :)
