	I (a man) have a slightly different approach.  I wear buttons on my
coat or jacket or vest or whatever.  They have little messages on them like
"End Violence in The Life of Women" and "Racism is a Social Disease".  There
have been times when women have stopped to tell me how glad they were to see
a man wearing such buttons.
