Ultimately the title of feminist is awarded to a group of power hungry females who believe that they are better than males in every way and deserve to have more power.
This however is one of many negative connotations that surround what being a feminist is. Feminism is the idea that men and women should be EQUAL. Not one having more power than the other or vice versa.
An argument can be made that men will never understand what it is like to be female and wouldn't be able to support the cause of being a female and wanting to be equal.
Personally I find that I would agree that men have a full capability of being a feminist. Should they support the cause of feminism (not radical feminism) then they can be allowed the title of feminism.
There seems to be the idea that we need to have a strong sisterhood because we are women? Why is it necessary that we need a sisterhood when it's even a disagreement within our groups of what women need to be better... could men be allowed into the sisterhood?
Generally if you share values you will form a bond with others, if men agree with that why shouldn't they be allowed to join and support the sisterhood.
We were also given a list of famous men who are known as feminist and why we should allow these men to define themselves as feminist? Their fame can help them reach more of the population and can express and promote more of the ideals of feminism.
And as the conversation turns to who is anti-feminist of course none other than the Donald comes up. Why is it that more of positive feminist are being publicized instead of the negative? because more people could be coming out as pro feminism in an effort to gain more followers because then if they hadn't already most of the feminist group would support them.
