Then 'speak' or 'type' up. I posted last week I think - about a 'silent majority' specifically in relation to liberal/progressive men.

I think the majority of men at DU are 'for us'- but the men most for us stand back and let us speak for ourselves. Their belief in our strength and quiet support allows the 'no so much in our corner' guys to run rampant.

So regardless of gender if you think something needs to be put in writing - please do so!
