Men in the movement

Reading the article "Real Men Join the Movement" we begin to see the benefits that start to take place. From men counseling other men and even spreading word of the movement. For men to join is a must. However problems are that not many men are aware of the movement. On top of that some even find it a laughable matter. Feminism may very well lead to better relationships, less violence, less rape, and more intimacy, however, again feminism needs to be known. For this to happen feminism needs to be advertised. Advertised not only by those who claim to be feminists but also by those in society. True change only occurs when everyone starts to know and understand what your doing. The fact that feminism is hardly advertised already puts the ideal on hold. Men in the movement however if advertised by the media will lead to equality not only among women but also among people of color. Equality throughout I feel is the true goal of feminism. And if these ideal gain ground we go that much closer to ridding ourselves of that idea to label people be them of color or of different sex or gender. By ridding ourselves of labels based on looks well lets just say society would end up making a great stride toward future equality. People fear what they do not know. Make feminism known and instead of inspiring fear, belittlement, and insults toward feminism you end up gaining more followers and more people looking for equality.
