Maybe, but if self interest drives a man to solidarity with women to fight against the patriarchy then most of the women I know who actually read feminist theory would agree that it’s a perfectly valid contributing reason.
I think the patriarchy is bad for everyone. There are a lot of dudes who see male feminists as gender traitors, and it’s surprising how many I encounter on Lemmy.
Would I get downvoted for pointing out that this is one of the reasons I’m a feminist?
