Question

Not sure I understand. Can a guy be a feminist?

Answer 1

Yes FREE WILL woohoo!! LOL

Answer 2

probably

Answer 3

Of course! My husband is totally one of them! He usually do most of the housework and works! Isn't that nice? He treats me like a real queen! =p

Answer 4

Can a girl be a masculinist?

Answer 5

Absolutely. If you believe that women should have the same rights as men,  and nothing more or nothing less, you are a feminist. :-)

I find it funny when men say that other men are "traitors" if they are a feminist. Would they rather see their wives/daughters/mothers/grandmothers treated as if they were sub-human?

Okeedokee: I couldn't agree with you more.

Edit: Wow, 4 thumbs down. Well done - you've all just demonstrated your ignorance regarding feminism.

Answer 6

Guy's supporting feminism makes as much sense as a minority supporting the KKK, but to each there own.

P.S regardless what the feminist say, feminist ideology is based upon female supremacy.

       All talk of equality is a joke. Because all it is, is talk nothing more.

I believe in people's basic right to self determination but I just can't stand liars.

  But there actions point to misandric tendencies and female supremacy beliefs.

When push comes to shove time and time again feminist's have shown there true color's.

Answer 7

Yes, if he agrees to feminist arguments and positions.

Although born male, I was always against male chauvinism and took the women´s part when it came to abuse or discrimination against women. I am much attracted to self-confident and assertive women, and feminism is strengthening these values. Moreover feminism is helping to liberate males from outdated, forced gender stereotypes - another reason why feminism is necessary because men´s activities will not work for it.

Answer 8

Yes, if he believes that women should have equal rights and equal pay for equal work.

It's not radical - it's just a sense of fair play.

Answer 9

yes, I read an article about it....strange, I know.

Answer 10

Yes, though there are armies of frightened and backwards minds out there who are closed to the idea. It's funny because all the macho guys on here are really just afraid to stand up for something that is right. They're really just weak because they follow their stupid friends opinions instead of making their own.

Being a male feminist is just an extension of being a decent human with respect for life and freedom. What's so weak about wanting the women in your life to enjoy their lives more?

Answer 11

Self-hatred is not unheard of.

Answer 12

yes. feminists believe women are people with rights that are equal to men. you don't have to have **** to apreciate that.

Answer 13

yeah

Answer 14

Yes they can but they are traitors to their own kind.

Answer 15

yes a man can be a feminist

even meet a radical male feminist the other day....which was a little unusual

Answer 16

Ew, why would they want to be? I'm a girl and feminism disgusts me. I'd rather sit home feeding the kids, making sandwiches, and mending socks. This whole women's rights thing just sucks.

Answer 17

Why not, Kurt Cobain was. it's not about women power, it's about gender being nothing more then what's between your legs

Answer 18

Sure.  Granted there might not be a lot, but any guy who wants equality between men and women can be a feminist if they act upon it.

Answer 19

I'm a feminist I guess, b/c a real man knows to respect a woman for the human being she is and deserves every right I and anyone else has. Still occasionally I play the protecter, supporter,provider, but the woman I am with does the same. I have been teased about the fact that I cook for her all the time and she doesnt cook, but in truth I doit b/c I enjoy it, and the smile on her face is worth it everytime, and I enjoy cooking anyway. I don't get whats so odd about it.

Answer 20

Castrated males can, men cannot.

Answer 21

Yes, and to each their own.  

It would be easy for me as a non-feminist to make a claim that men should be looking out for their own, but I believe in free chice so long as I am allowed the same grace, and any woman who chooses to support men's rights is not vilified for doing so.

Answer 22

Sure, why not?  A black man can be a n**i too, if he want.  People do strange things that make no sense.

Answer 23

Yeah.  Why not?

Answer 24

g*y marriage is legal in my country, so I doubt anyone would mind if they declared themselves as feminists also.

Answer 25

Possibly, but personally I regard male feminists with deep suspicion.  I wouldn't trust one further than I could throw him.

Answer 26

Yes.

Answer 27

Yes, men can be feminists. I know some. A feminist just means you believe in equal rights for women. You don't have to be a woman to be a feminist.

Answer 28

well let's be honest there are a few self-hating guys

just imagine this scenario. Feminists sitting round discussing the patriarchy and a feminist male sits in their prescence.

Female Feminist : "Men are such patriarchal pigs trying to oppress us"

Feminist male: "yea I really hate myself ladies, can I help you discuss plans to disenfranchise myself"

=D

Answer 29

Not Mexican Men, we have to much Machismo.
