    I believe that the reason for the lack of education about male-feminist is the fact that not many people know that male-feminist are actually a thing. The label placed on the word feminist consist of the image of women hating men burning their bras and chanting hateful words towards their suppressors. When picturing a group behaving this way one comes to think why men would even want to be a part of a group that actually hates them. This fake label placed on feminist makes it impossible for one to think that any people aside from women would want to deliberately be a part of such a group. When this false label is removed from the term feminism, then is when people can learn and become educated at the fact that some men actually do join women in their fight for equality.

    I certainly believe that men do in fact play a big part in women’s struggle for equality. When it comes to a group of people being discriminated against or being suppressed there is always two roles that need to be filled, the one who is suppressing and the one who is being suppressed. Women have obviously been the ones who have been suppressed because they have always been looked at as less. Always paid less, no voting rights until the 20th century, automatically being handed domestic duties. Men have been the ones who have been directly suppressing women by imputing the power they give themselves upon us.
