The idea of a man being a feminist is something both women and men struggle with. What people fail to realize is that the feminist movement is not only promoting women's rights, it is also promoting men's rights. Men hesitate to call themselves feminists because they are uneducated about what exactly being a feminist means. They confuse it for being an angry women and for women having rights above men. With a little education we can see that this is not at all the case. Whether men call themselves feminist or pro-feminist or whatever term they choose, they can most definitely be a feminist. It is their duty to join the movement not only for women, but for themselves.
