On allies and male feminists

[seabeyond]

7. a very good Op and i could nto agree with you more. i know that when women, especially our young

women and girls do the manipulative things with men, that they know they will get away with, but it is using men, i feel i have a responsibility to speak up. and strongly. explaining why it is unacceptable, how damaging it is, why it effects us all.

it is not a tough thing. and yes, i expect it of men. and if a man does not actively behave in thsi manner, they are not only not allies, but they literally are part of the problem cause they are good dudes reinforcing the wrong to their friends. friends and peers that would listen to them. because they are too lazy, cowardly or are simply unconcerned about making this a better place for all of us.

and if they are that, then no... they absolutely are not allies.
