What are the benefits and drawbacks of the feminist movement by having men as feminists? This is the question I bring to you today, and also the one that I will answer. The first feminist movement started in 1848 and began in New York. Women were fighting for their rights and wanted men to recognize that they were just as equal. The woman who started the feminist movement was "Elizabeth Cady Stanton" because she believed that women were just as good as men. Back then feminists wanted the world to know that no gender is greater than the other. Now in this essay, I am going to be mentioning what good and bad effects come from men becoming feminists themselves.
Let me start off with the drawbacks, if men are feminists then it sort of contradicts to the whole purpose of the feminist movement. You see, it was because of men that the whole thing about a woman getting less pay occurred. You think a woman would make her own gender have less income? Also, if men had just treated women more fairly than the feminist movement would never have happened. Everyone would be equal and no gender would get the upper hand over the other. Then again, I guess you could say that this a benefit because then the whole argument about feminism would never have happened in the first place. Also, the stuff that women say about men because they are "feminists" is really mean.
Because men become feminists the woman who started it in the first place start making a bad name for the male feminists that are just trying to support them. They call them names like fake and not worthy to be a feminist. Apparently, there was this one news article that had one of its stories named, "Are you a man? You're probably a creep". As you can see this is going a bit too far. And all because certain men are trying to help the women who are being oppressed for their gender. If women keep on doing this then male feminists will start losing interesting in this movement and turn back in sexists who believe that women aren't as good as them. Would you want that?
Now it's time to name some of the benefits of having men as male feminists. One that is pretty obvious, men are coming to help and get rid of the stereotype of them being better even though they started it. This shows the "enemy" is willing to make a compromise or at least some of them. With this, the feminist movement will grow even stronger until some day females will get the same pay and other stuff that they have the right to obtain. In addition, men have a good reason to join the feminist movement because it benefits themselves as well. Studies have shown that the male suicide rate in the world is growing, it has already surpassed 24%. Some scientists are saying this is because men are expected to be all manly or muscular than their former counterparts (woman) because of the stereotypes going on around the world.
Like I have already stated that male feminism benefits men as well as women. In case you don't know there are such things as male feminists too and they are at the same time fighting for gender equality. I know this isn't part of the actual essay but why is there a need for male rights? It's not like the women are doing better as of right now in the world. Most of the people in this world are sexists even if they don't try to be. Like saying this, "How come that kid is beating you in the race? It's a girl!" and "Boys can't hit girls" (although women seem to enjoy that law). Anyway, the fact is that male feminists are basically people fighting for male rights because they are at the same time going for gender equality.
So men joining the women feminism movement is certainly beneficial towards the females. We're all fighting for the same thing whether you like it or not. In conclusion today we learned about the benefits and drawbacks of male feminists. In my personal opinion, the benefits greatly overpower the drawbacks which aren't that much. There are many wrong and good things that come out of male feminists. So what do you think?
