In terms of men being feminist allies, it’s just important to speak from your own place. I’d love to hear men singing about masculinity and the damage it does to them. Kathleen Hanna

When they are ready to hear us sing of masculinity as something other then a disease to be cured, but actually hear the words of the song, then I’ll Ally with feminism.
You bet.
A disease to be cured? Really? You know you speak out of both sides of your mouth, DJ. Masculinity is a beautiful thing—as is a man accepting and nurturing characteristics that may have once been considered feminine (i.e. being empathetic and emotionally available, not worrying about who out earns whom in a relationship, throwing out gender roles in chores and societal expectations, shall I go on…)
I think you missed his point entirely.
DJ, please enlighten me. Did I miss your point entirely? It’s been known to happen:)
