    This is the first on a three part series that I think does a great job explaining some basics of feminism, why it is still needed, and in particular trying to explain why "skeptics" of feminism...

    Some sceptics will argue that feminism remains problematic because its true objective is not to achieve equality, but to advantage women at all costs, to the detriment of men. Many fear that focusing on women’s rights means neglecting men’s problems, such as the high male suicide rate.

    Not so. I urge sceptics to take any issue that particularly affects men. It is often closely connected to the sort of outdated gender stereotypes that feminists are committed to tackling.

    This is the first on a three part series that I think does a great job explaining some basics of feminism, why it is still needed, and in particular trying to explain why "skeptics" of feminism should care.

    In particular I think a lot of men view feminsism negatively, think its goals are to put men down or attack them.

    I got this article from r/menslib, which is a subreddit for discussing mens issue through the lens of feminism.
