I was convinced to become an atheist by people calling out other people. I was convinced to become a feminist by people calling out other people.

I know it’s an anecdote. I know from communication research that changes in opinion don’t really happen all that often in the real world, especially not in response to the media. But in the end I can say that I was personally changed by people calling out things.

I think it’s a valuable thing to do. The world would be a very sad place if it were impossible to change people with argument.

And if not this generation then the next one.
