Earlier on many strong women accomplished things that went unrecognized when men were achieving the same things. Now, that is what women in the fight for equality are doing to men. Although, many men have been active in supporting the struggle for women’s equality, yet no one ever hears about these men. I believe that we are not informed about the men in feminist activism because it takes away from the work that the females are doing. Women believe that men don’t realize the fight they are putting up for equality, so if a man helps female activists it is not the same as what females as the work females are doing. If a group boasts about the work a male is doing for women’s equality, the emphasis will be taken off of equality for women and be put on what men can do to help women. Feminism and gender equality is not about males vs. females, it is about everyone coming together to make the world a more equal place for everyone. Although men aren’t talked about being included in the fight, they need to be included in the fight for gender equality.

I do believe that men have a role in the struggle for women’s equality. Men have oppressed women for many years. White males have not been subjected to the patriarchy that women have felt. Gender equality should be fought for by both genders for it to be obtainable. Including men in this fight would break down so many gender stereotypes that would make equality one-step closer. A man’s role in equality is to become more informed and respectable. Men and women together need to abandon harsh stereotypes and take part in healthy relationships. Many people believe that women should just fight the fight for women’s equality, but it needs to be an equal effort. Many strong women have stood up for females in the past, but as a group effort the fight can be even stronger.
