Men can definitely make feminist art! The whole point of feminism is for genders to be equal, not for one to have privilege or power over the other, whether that one with privilege is women or not! Men can have feministic views and believe that we should have the same rights as them.

I was not sure of any feminism art pieces made by males by myself, so I searched it on google and I have to say it is a lot harder and more rare to find than I thought. I saw some google images but nothing was cited and the websites I found with information were on Wikipedia. Although I still believe feminist art can be made by both men and women, after not easily being able to find it on the internet I realized maybe it isn’t so popular. How could men really understand the struggle of feminism when they aren’t women and they will never really know how it feels to be one? It’s nothing against them, but in reality they could never really put themselves in our shoes, because being a male, especially a white male comes with it’s own perks and privileges no matter what. So my answer is, yes I believe it is POSSIBLE for men to make feminist art, but no I don’t think it’s a complete accurate representation of the struggle of feminism itself.

Absolutely, men definitely have a role in the struggle for women’s equality. Hell, they’re the dominant cause of why there is even a struggle at all! For some reason men have a feeling of entitlement and a feeling that they have power over us. I think it’s partially because it’s been like that from the beginning of time, but partially it’s because an abundance of women let it happen. I think women have just accepted that that’s how it is and that nothing is going to change it so why fight it. I understand that perspective but if enough of us stay together and stop “consuming the other” as Bell Hooks would say then maybe we’d have a fighting chance.
