What About Men alluded to the the importance of men being supportive of equality because women’s movements are seemingly not successful without the involvement of men. Men are so superior to women in society which is proved through their status in the workplace, in the government, their payment in jobs and their overall opportunity, therefore it is important that they use that power for good. This really put the question of “who would be willing to give up that privilege to do what it is right?” in place for me. With that being said, men I believe that all men have a duty and role in the fight for women’s equality because they have this outward privilege that women do not have. Men, unfortunately, have a larger voice in the majority (if not, all) platforms such as art, media, and corporate life, therefore their role would be supporting and encouraging others to educate and support women in the movement as well. Another role of men would be to educate themselves on the importance and the existence of their own privilege as well along with understanding and acknowledging women’s struggle. With doing so, the support and growth of movements like the feminist movement would allow for expansion and more support because it would be normalized amongst the “dominant” gender.
