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.

Get the Male feministmug. defined as misandrist male who echos the gender-feminist anti-male myths and negative stereotping of men agenda to either get laid or receive government contracts to find new ways to blame other men for women's plights. These echo-feminists while bashing men in their own way have the prestige, power and money to control the abilities and lives of other men; sounds a lot like being patriarchal or bullying.
Similar to actual echo the words are hollow and only mimics the source; there is no body or truth.

The man was describing his personal experience of being a male victim of female perpetrated domestic violence when the acedemic echo-feminist dismissed his experience as a male abuser in denial.

Get the echo-feministmug. A paradox which contradicts itself as:
1.) A feminist can't be honest.
2.) Someone whose honest won't be
Feminist.
1.) A feminist can't be honest.
2.) Someone whose honest won't be
Feminist.
Eg-
Person 1-Man this world would be a better place if honest feminists existed..
Feminist - DID YOU JUST ASSUME OUR
MORALITY !?

Get the emir feministmug. Feminist goggles also tell a feminist a guy should never question what a female is like when the public eye isn't looking, or think about who she really is (and if he does so the feminist should start by calling him any name she can think of to try and get him back in line, and keep him from getting/staying out of line from then on). Feminist goggles yell a feminist guys don't think about what's beneath the surface, they just think about how many females they can fuck in a lifetime (unless they're the guys that think like females)
