Many women think that the word "feminism" should be a word only applicable to women. They think that in order for women to stand together to push for equality, men should not enter the equation. Feminists don't hate men, so why do so many think it's such a big deal that some men refer to themselves as feminists? Some say men should have nothing to do with feminism, and others say men should refer to themselves as "pro-feminists."
Here's my take on it all: Guys, call yourselves whatever the heck you want. I feel it is important that it is not only women seeing wrong in gender issues. Men in feminism, I feel, is pretty important to the movement. Other than wanting a word for yourself, why shouldn't a guy that is knowledgeable on women's issues call himself a feminist when a feminist is simply a person who strives to make right gender inequalities?
