The problem with the self-proclaimed “Male Feminist”
Men can be feminists. To identify as a feminist is simply to say that you agree with the idea that men and women are social, political and economic equals. But for some men, a specific breed of “Male Feminist,” it’s their quickness to the draw, their willingness to embrace the label, that arouses skepticism. At best, they are hopelessly naïve. At worst, they are charlatans using the veil of feminism to disguise their sins. If you’re a man who wants to legitimately earn his feminist badge, you don’t need to actually treat it like a badge.
