Do feminists trust self-proclaimed "anti-sexist men" as their allies?

Question

Or do they think (whether its true or not) that all men by definition are anti-feminist?

Answer 1

Most of the feminists I knew in NOW had husbands and sons and fathers who attended rallies and marches with them-so in spite of the propaganda-feminists are well aware that most men are their allies. I'm bisexual so I assume that if someone says they're accepting of g**s that they are-I don't give them a test to prove their entry into the "club".  

Answer 2

Hi Fridays,

Yes, I trust them. There's a lot of good men out there and nobody has the ground to legitimately question their anti-sexist stance.

If we say that men can't be anti-sexist solely because they're men, aren't we being sexist ourselves?

Men can be anti-sexist, and I admire them for it :-)

Answer 3

If anyone is pro-sexism then its like being pro-racism or pro-homophobia.

Duh.

Answer 4

Sure we do. We love those guys.

Answer 5

I think you will find that most anti-feminists are anti-sexism. You will find more sexism among feminists.

Answer 6

feminists can be male or female. they are just against discrimination based on s*x, so yeah feminist women trust feminist men

Answer 7

I am male and I am, amongst other things, a feminist, at least in the sense that I advocate gender equality. If a woman doesn’t trust me because I think that men and women are of equal value then quite frankly I pity her.

Answer 8

I have faith everyone and give him or her the benefit of the doubt before I make my final critique. I’d like to believe most people are my allies.

Answer 9

Feminists don't like men.
