THIS POST IS ABOUT THE FELLAS.
What? Yes. You heard me right. yeah yeah im gonna talk up feminist idols and my beliefs and my struggles as a woman later... but I really wanted to start this on a slightly less obvious note
okay maybe I will use this memeish thing
Some of you may know that I lead a group call #teamgirlpowa .We are growing, living fiercely, and learning from each other not to mention taking the blockchain by rainbows and lightning . We are from every continent (except antarctic, lol); spanning 4 + belief systems; feminist and non; an array of gender identified persons; from a variety of backgrounds and with skills ranging from engineering to mediating to researching to arting and of course badazz parenting (and more!)
Due to this we often discuss and come up with ideas for the blockchain that highlight out diversity and POWA . ;) Thus the wise, energetic, and poised mama-to-be 
I WAS PUMPED. Yet, also intimidated. :S I'm only recently diving into being a moderately serious adult. At first, I made a bunch of silly memes and plotted to crack everyone up. I also was gonna rant. Then I was gonna do some opinionated mic-droppin but I'm sitting here listening to QUEEN BEY and thinkin, nah. Lets leave out the magic tricks and just shoot from the boobs (if I had a gun it would be in a boob holster but thats the last joke ima make). How could a single, barely spiritual, messy, dramatic, openly half-assed, aggressively empathic mad women SPEAK OUT among these goddess waves?
OH. Right. talk about MEN. :D
Blockchain Dude #1: The official TGP vocal, straight, white(ish) feminist
I didn't do any drawrings but let me tell ya, this guy is a character. Well if you think the characters is a very patient, friendly, highly educated author, editor, and publisher that has done his homework about modern women..
I first began following 
it started with https://steemit.com/love/@didic/how-to-succeed-with-women-with-hamilton-gifs inspired by techslut but still... hehe..
Blockchain Dude #2: My Curie Mentor, Musician, Crypto-Trader, and Epic Stay-At-Home Dad
I probably don't have to explain much cuz he's kind of a big deal in many circles (mostly the circles in his head but still..). Actually character doesn't even cover this guy. He is enigmatic, effervesent, and I hope his amazing wife 
Blochain Dude #3 - Surprisingly not evil corporate henchman
Jared came into Team Girl Powa with a BANG! he was looking for our input for his next project to support women and girls through blockchain technology!! wow. We set up an interview on GirlPowaRadio and and a full on brainstorm in which he not only listened but promised to take the ideas back to his team and meet with us again. Before , during, and after the interview I razzed him a lot but he was unphased. He told us about how his company has been moving towards solid efforts in gender equality, and supporting a number of women-focused charities. He himself thinks that feminism is a no brainer for many reasons including making sure his daughter grows up in world where she has freedom, choices, and equal respect for her efforts/skills.
He doesn't have any overtly pro-women or tradition challenging work on steemit yet* but look.. his photography is beautiful (psst okay so his wife shhh)

Blockchain Dude # 4- Sensitive, Open, Intelligent, Musician, Mother of Quails, and BusinessDude
@MenO
I believe @MenO and I started talking due to silly chats in MSP. I honestly can't remember. But he was a really good friend and listened to me rant a few times when I was having trouble dealing (as I often do). Not only did he listen but he let me tell him when I felt he was thinking within the construct of patriarchal society. Sounds like a low standard to have but honestly it means a lot for a woman like me. I'm much more emotionally expressive and easily frustrated than your average angry feminist (that is, i give a lotta fux about what people think. oops) He taught me about "mental ninja" through his story about his erm friends mom who taught him to stop being a bully. He has delegated to quite a few people, myself included -- i think specifically because he knows that I aim to support women and the lgbtqnb community. Thats just a guess though. HE WAS actually one of the very first members of #teamgirlpowa (although he's never actually visitied us-- 
Blockchain Dude #5 - YUyu Enrique (name speaks for self)
Since I began attempting to speak spanish to this vibrant and loving man I have to finally admit: I have a huge crush on him. Sorry. Not sure if he knows that and it might sound silly but heres why: He sees me. He enjoys my words. He respects me. And he does the same for everyone but mostly a lot of women. He makes art of his female friends because he sees the beauty in their souls even if they are a part-time angry crazy girl. We haven't fully discussed feminism but he has a lot of female friends that he openly supports both on his blog and as friends on discord.
awesome dudes i should mention 
there are more AND... I want all of these amazing men to join in THIS CHALLENGE. YES. I'm officially giving you permission to use #womenspeakout n i won't get mad and throw a tantrum.
