This is a very good point that I hadn't considered. I am rather handicapped as a dude, because my POV is so very different.

However, I do have two mothers, (including my MIL), 3 sisters, a wife and a daughter. All of them are very important in my life, and I want the world to improve for all of them. How many are like that? Lots of us I'm sure. We all need to support the women in our lives by supporting feminism. We each have our own take on it- let the world know.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
