My Act of Feminism Stands to Benefit Men Too

Why do they keep attacking feminists?

If men could understand that Feminists are not their enemies, then the world would be a better place.

There’s what we call hyper-masculinity and that’s the foe and opposite of feminism. I can’t seem to understand how people keep falling for this awful cultural standard.

Feminists are accused of being one-sided. Feminists are accused of wanting more justice for women. This is wrong and untrue.

Feminism stands for gender equality. It stands for both men and women. It stands to eradicate all forms of ugly standards which society has unintentionally implemented. It stands to benefit men too.

It is getting tiring living in a community where I have to hide as a feminist, afraid of being judged, and most of all, afraid I won’t find a man who accepts feminists. I can no longer contain this sadness. Why do Feminists keep getting attacked?

Feminists are not women. We are people — anyone can be a feminist.
