[quote=Anonymous]I think OP is less concerned that her DH is not phone banking and more concerned that he doesn't realize what is at stake for women.  He just doesn't have skin in the game with the results of this election the way a woman does - he will be fine, maybe even better off, particularly if he is white.

Remember the article about the men who got involved in reproductive rights only after they watched their wives almost die with complicated miscarriages and pregnancies in red states with abortion bans?  Most of them said they never paid attention to the issue or believed what women said until it affected them personally.

Have him watch the part of Michelle Obama's speech about a husband having to watch his wife shiver and cry during a delivery gone bad, or stand at her grave holding flowers.  This is the only thing that will resonate.  Most men--even good men who have wives and daughters--do not care about what happens to women unless it impacts them personally, sorry to say.[/quote]
