Pro-feminist Men- Bria shelby
In kimmel's "Real Men Join the Movement", he talks about pro feminist men and their efforts to join the the fight against discrimination against women. One interesting part was the mention of of how some pro feminist men said that it was a struggle being an activist for feminism. They saw themselves as being a minority and on some occasions, other men turned against them. I found it intriguing how some men, usually seen as oppressors, can easily become the oppressed when they defend other oppressed groups, like women. It seems very ignorant for men to be oblivious to certain issues like sexism to the point where one does not notice it unless it happens to them. But I'm the other hand, it takes a lot of courage to become an active defender of the oppressed even when ones opinion is not popular. It is better to be late than to never do anything about it. It makes me wonder why so many people turn against activism and it seems to me that they become too worried about upset the status quo to do anything about inequality. I think that more people would strive more towards equality if they worried about the bigger picture rather than what others think. If more people were willing to help end inequality like the pro feminist men, we would be much closer to equality.
