Those who aren’t in a position or are unwilling to take a meaningful stand for a good change have four five choices when confronted with someone who is and does:
- Ignore it.
- Applaud it.
- Give it due appreciation while recognizing the further work they and others need to take to achieve the desired change.
- Question the motives of the person taking the stand.
- Take a shit on the person taking the stand.
Two and three aren’t mutually exclusive. Four and five tell you more about the concern trolley than anyone else.
It’s a fair guess that most of the people who disdain Cumberbatch for this will be male “allies” and chauvinists who oppose the change, between whom there’s little practical difference.
