I want to call your attention, however, to the cis-normative language you use in this post. In your statement, "it certainly isn’t something that women can accomplish by themselves. We need to call upon all the penis-clad warriors" you are marginalizing our transgender and gender-variant warriors, who are the same targets for violence as women. It's important in movements like this that we are sure to include *all* women, not just those with vaginas, and *all* men, not just those with penises.
