Men Can Be Feminists?

This article is written by Matt, a male who identifies himself as a feminist. He argues that though he may not overtly experience the inequalities females face, he does recognize and care about changing them. Matt specifically focuses on people's reaction to him as a feminist. The jokes and laughter he well-expected, but what suprised him the most was the praise he recieved.

He states, "I find it unfortunate that when you find one man who cares about gender equality, it’s cause for praise...It’s great when men self-identify as feminists, but when it’s cause for celebration, then you know something is wrong with society."
