I have a relatable experience Rondm. I went to a feminist support meeting when I was touring another city. I was the only man in attendance and the attendees around me were unhappy to see me participating. I was kicked out of the small group discussion I was in because the others didn’t feel comfortable sharing their stories with a man.

I got revenge at the end of the meeting when the facilitator asked people to share their experience at the meeting by pointing out that my small group kicking me out makes it hard for men who want to be supportive to actually be supportive with such behavior. Not only were they shamed, other attendees came to talk to me afterwards saying they were happy I came. It ended up being a funnystory I shared with other people I met for a while.

@Random commenter What was called "feminism" on 20th century would nowadays get qualified as antisexism. Though the final goal remains the same, the slight difference lays in forgetting there's still a side far more discriminated against -- in some countries (e.g.: Afghanistan) but also worldwide, since a fair share of mentalities are still behind (aka "conservative") whatever the official laws (de jure but not de facto). Best historical example of a feminist man is Hayao Miyazaki : it's all over his entire work (as well humanism, ecologism, etc).

Sadly the meaning evolved due to feminazies revendicating themselves as "feminist". To the point some women find hard to believe there exist men who might also want better conditions for women and join in with them to fight back the outdated mentalities. Yet men also have mothers and sisters and daughters and friends, whom they want to see happy rather than in a "protective cage" whatever the justification.
