Male feminists are men who are actively supportive of feminism and of efforts to bring about gender justice and equality.
Some pro-feminist men are involved in political activism. One of the most common areas of involvement is men's violence, and there are men's groups in Australia, the US, Canada, Europe and elsewhere who have this as their focus. Pro-feminist men do anti-violence work with boys and young men in schools, offer sexual harassment workshops in workplaces, run community education campaigns, and counsel male perpetrators of violence, just to name a few common activities. Pro-feminist men also are involved in men's health, activism on pornography, academic research on masculinity, the development of gender equity curricula in schools, and many other areas. This work is sometimes in collaboration with feminists and women's services (such as domestic violence and rape crisis centres). Other pro-feminist men are not active in public campaigns. Nevertheless, their commitment to pro-feminism takes the form of trying to live in egalitarian and respectful ways in their daily lives -- at home, at work and on the street.
Men's support for feminism has various sources: love and care for the women and girls in their lives, commitments to principles of equality or justice, a sense of distance from traditional masculinity, and so on.

Person 1: Do you consider yourself feminist?
Person 2: No, only women can be feminists right?
Person 1: Of course not! Do you support equal rights for men and women?
Person 2: Yes, sure.
Person 1: That means you are a feminist. A male feminist.

A guy who has awareness of how patriarchy and gender inequality hurt him and other people.
The male feminist is either a reasonable feminist who isn't whiny like cis female feminist or just a simply simp, no inbetween.

Girl #1- did you see Andrew this morning
Girl #2- omg yes, he’s a male feminist, so hot it’s nice to see men advocating for equal rights instead of being misogynistic incels.
