What is the role of men in feminism? [View All]

Webster's first definition for feminism says:

the theory of the political, economic, and social equality of the sexes

As a man, that's how I understand feminism. It's fundamentally about equality of the sexes. In an ideal society, women and men should be equally free to choose whatever profession they want (and get paid the same for the same work!), equally free to exhibit whatever sexual preference they feel, and equally free to act in whatever "feminine"/"masculine" ways they wish, without condemnation or judgment from others.

And so, from my perspective, there's a lot to be gained (for both sexes) in discussions about the unfair ways women are treated by listening to men describe how even within the patriarchal power structure certain men are discriminated against and belittled.

Getting input from men about how sexually/physically-oriented discrimination affects them too should strengthen the feminism movement, not weaken it or belittle it, and certainly not detract from it. Think of all the men affected by this kind of discrimination who could be brought into feminism, expanding it and making it more able to affect REAL change!

If you don't think this is not appropriate, please tell me why. I'd really like to know.
