There are some men who actually legitimately can on certain subjects and it doesn't innately hurt the causes of feminism to hear from a man's perspective as well. Part of what encourages more men to take note of women's issues is hearing about them from other respectable men they can relate to. This is what I'm talking about. They're two different scenarios that spark feminist criticism towards men who claim to be male feminists. --- Bite me like one of your French rolls. http://www.imageupload.co.uk/images/2017/06/05/flcnpawn.png http://www.imageupload.co.uk/images/2017/06/05/84543589.gif <cite>ClockworkHare posted [p:904112463] in Male femin...
