Ep 79: "Why is it Hard for Men to Call Themselves Feminists?"
Even in the year 2019, there is a worry about the label of feminism when it comes to men. I see a lot of guys that are confused, misinformed, feeling shamed, feeling anxious about what they should support. They’re worried that if they embrace the word feminism, that they are more prone not only from other men but from women who are now holding them to a much higher standard. My question is, why is that label so hard to hurdle? why is it so hard for men to say that they are feminist?

Even in the year 2019, there is a worry about the label of feminism when it comes to men. I just want to be clear, when I get a chance to talk to a lot of men there’s a lot they agree with in regards to pro-feminist values. You know except a few idiots here and there that try to be contrarian. It might feel like those idiots are everywhere but they’re not. Not that I see anyways, I see a lot of guys that are confused, misinformed, feeling shamed, feeling anxious about what they should support. They’re worried that if they embrace the word feminism, that they are more prone not only from other men but from women who are now holding them to a much higher standard.
My question is, why is that label so hard to hurdle? why is it so hard for men to say that they are feminist?
