The idea of feminism in society has received a bad reputation because people tend to assume that feminists hate all men, think every single man is bad, think that they are all better than men, and the assumptions go on. As a result, people would get confused if they found out that men were actually involved in the movement if it all seems to be against them. That is extremely unfortunate because society’s ignorance has brought the wrong connotation to feminist activism. It is hard for people to understand that feminists are just looking for equality amongst all genders. If they understood that and society understood that, it would be so easy to believe that men are involved! Many men support feminist activism and are strongly a part of this. I think that men should definitely be involved in the education of feminist activism because that would help students to better understand what feminism is really all about. It will also give students a more open approach to feminism since they can then understand that not all men are bad, and it will also give them hope since they will see that men are already helping out to promote this equality.

Men absolutely have a role in women’s equality. Since they seem to have the upper-hand right now, women need their support and help to really cause a change. Without them, women promoting equality might be seen as inequality promotion because no men would be involved in the process. To promote equality, all genders need to be a part of the movement. Take a look back at history, and even other current events. Multiple races were involved to cease racism in the United States. Multiple people of different sexualities were (right now especially) involved in promoting gay rights and officially allowing gay marriage in the United States. There needs to be power in numbers, as well as people, regardless of gender, who believe in equality amongst everyone. Men can believe in that just as much as women. They can cause change alongside of us.
