Men who are feminist...?

Question

What do you think of them?

Answer 1

I'm going to say that probably depends on the guy.  Some are probably genuinely trying to fix what they see as a problem.  Some are probably just trying to impress women.

Answer 2

I think they are stupid m*******t slaves for women.

Answer 3

My loving father, loving husband and loving close male friends are all feminists, wouldn't have it any other way. It means they are observant and intelligent. Who would want to be with someone who doesn't think women should be treated fairly?  Not me!

PS:  Feminism was and still is a major proponent of g*y, L*****n, and all levels of trans gender rights and freedoms. No one should fear for their safety. I always will believe in the equality of all to be free. Love to all.

Answer 4

According to Gloria Steinem, anyone -female or male- who simply beleives that women are people too, is a feminist.

The story of the first wave of feminism, the 70 year women's rights movement, which started with some ordinary folks -men AND women- who simply got together at a church in Seneca Falls NewYork in 1848, to agree on what was wrong, write down what they wanted to do about it, creating a mission statement  (The Declaration Of Sentiments)*--and then GOING OUT AND - even if it took 70 years- GETTING IT DONE,    THAT  ---> is the finest example of some people sticking up for themselves democratically that I can find in this country's history.

I see NO ONE trying to correct any wrongs in my lifetime.

I like it because of that.

And I like it because I'm gender mixed.

Is that a crummy reason?

I don't think so.

In answer to YOUR question, though, I think you'll find TWO kinds of men here--men who'd rather be part of the feminine themselves, and men who hate the idea of feminine power.

The kind of man you WONT find here is the 3rd kind that you  indicate -->the kind who's hetero, and out to score some points so he can get laid.

Preposterous!

But you know what, if a man DID want to pretend that hard to be profeminist, just to be with a woman,  then let him (whatever way he comes about  acting the right way will have to do in his case!).

Answer 5

The men that I know and have met who are feminist are usually well educated and have nothing to fear from women. These men seem to like strong and intelligent women and have no need to feel like they have to be stronger or smarter than the women they are with because these men are strong and intelligent themselves.

Answer 6

As long as they're actually feminists (and not just pretending so they can attract girls... those guys are always pretty easy to spot, though), good for them! I have a great deal of respect for male feminists; the ones I know are very intelligent, interesting people. I'm dating one, and he's pretty awesome.

Answer 7

Well, I am in a relationship with one. And best friends with another. They're just men who are intelligent enough to realize that your s*x does not strictly dictate what you are capable of or what opportunities you should be allowed to have.

Answer 8

Like what do I think of a man who really thinks I am a full and equal human being with full human rights?  :)

Answer 9

Let me be more candid with you.; I should've been from the start.  It's none of my business.  It's none of my business because it would've been best for all concerned that the word "feminism" would've never been coined in the first place.  It would've been best had certain women recognized that no matter what was happening to them and or what hardships they were facing that they always were and always will be human-beings from the get go .  All of us one time or the other has been faced with situations where we haven' been treated the best; well, so have I.**In all honesty I could say they're men who believe they can't get enough unless they become feminist themselves.  However, in all truth I can't.  For very logical reasoning it's called judging and I've been judged so much I wouldn't any one else to go through the same thing.

Answer 10

its their decision, women can be masculists too

Answer 11

They are like a black man cheering for the KKK.

Answer 12

I think they are wonderful and intelligent, and thankfully I have supportive men like that in my life.

Answer 13

Although I like to bait many of the aggressive women in this forum - I am, in fact a male feminist in that I believe in absolute equality between men and women.

As per the first respondent's comment: I am not trying to impress anyone - least of all women because I am g*y and the only thing I am trying to *fix* is the inequality which is so rampant in the world and how heterosexual men need to re-evaluate their place as 'leaders without question'.

Heterosexual men have had a grossly unfair advantage for centuries and now the world should be level in terms of gender, race, religion, sexual orientation etc

EDIT: I resent the word 'feminist' because it implies *favoring* women and as a man to use the word 'feminist' feels wrong though I completely support that men and women should be equal in every way. I'd like to find another word to use as an adjective or a noun to describe the above. 'Gender-equalist' sounds good ...

Answer 14

I am afraid I have not meet yet a feminist man, so I don't know what to think of them ,if the man is back thumping,instead of putting his arm around me and tells me if I don't mind paying for our meals because he forgot his wallet at home,should I be suspicious that he is a feminist man ???
