Concept information
Preferred term
male feminists
Definition
- The term male feminist designates men who consider themselves feminists; that is, who recognize the patriarchal oppression of gender in our societies and declare themselves active supporters of feminist thought and the feminist movement in the pursuit of equality. Their belief, like all feminists, is that sexism, racism, and homophobia, in which patriarchy is rooted, are constraining for all people, hence the need for a communal action against those forms of discrimination.
