  • It holds true in just about every aspect of what feminism is about. The more equality we have, the more opportunity we — as men — have. Learning to not dominate every conversation you’re a part of with a woman means that you get to learn from smart people who have things to teach you. Trying to change the association between “feminine” and “weak” (don’t be such a pussy, bro!) means that in order to feel like men, we don’t have to pretend to be invulnerable. Learning to not try to fuck every woman you meet just to prove that you can means that you get to benefit from forming actual friendships with those women. Speaking up about issues surrounding rape, or rape culture, or rape apologism, means that you’re working to build a world where women can trust you without worrying what you’d do if you have a few drinks in you, and she had been flirty but just wanted you to take her home.

    Dan Solomon, “Why Feminism is also Dude-ism”
