Description: In this episode, we have a lighter take on the topic of male feminists. Inspired by Barack Obama's letter about being a male feminist, we explore the emergence of male celebrities taking up the male feminist mantle (such as Aziz Ansari, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Terry Crews, etc.), and how being a male feminist is and should be more than just being supportive of gender equality. We dig deeper into the nuances of male feminism, looking at its various responsibilities and comparing it to other alternative titles such as male allies or being pro-feminist. We provide some helpful tips and advice on how men can be better feminists and/or allies, and end with a beautifully penned essay by Matt McGorry, on how becoming a feminist 'felt like falling in love.'
