I'm not sure exactly why I'm so interested in the beautiful ways men can become conscious and responsible and truly loving... but it is so wonderful to see it and I agree with this statement from this Two Wings page:
Of course women must work hard and educate themselves and work with others to bring the equality of women and men and I feel women are. Just sometimes I need to see that the men are taking action - and that the men can see that they can take action. What a better world for all of us when we're all striving together, more and more conscientiously, more and more in unity.
Here is something very interesting - a card that men read and give to women that they meet - not to "pick them up" but to help them "heal, find peace, joy and prosperity".

Men have an inescapable duty to promote the equality of women. The presumption of superiority by men thwarts the ambition of women and inhibits the creation of an environment in which equality may reign. The destructive effects of inequality prevent men from maturing and developing the qualities necessary to meet the challenges of the new millennium. "As long as women are prevented from attaining their highest possibilities," the Bahá'í Writings state, "so long will men be unable to achieve the greatness which might be theirs." [12] It is essential that men engage in a careful, deliberate examination of attitudes, feelings, and behavior deeply rooted in cultural habit, that block the equal participation of women and stifle the growth of men. The willingness of men to take responsibility for equality will create an optimum environment for progress: "When men own the equality of women there will be no need for them to struggle for their rights!" [13]
