Underlining the true meaning of feminism: the belief in equal rights, opportunities, and respect for all genders. It clears up the common
misconception that feminism is about hating men, and instead explains that it stands for fairness and justice. Feminism opposes harmful stereotypes and fights against gender-based violence, discrimination, and inequality. We emphasize that even young men have an important role to play in supporting feminism, as staying silent helps maintain toxic beliefs, while speaking up can help dismantle them.
One of the things we could do is to encourage young men to use their voices to advocate for gender equality. It calls for self-education, speaking out against sexist jokes and behaviors, and truly listening to the experiences of women. True change starts with self-reflection and unlearning the toxic behaviors society has taught. Being a feminist is not a sign of weakness, but a sign of courage, wisdom, and humanity. The final message is clear: it’s not a question of whether we should care about feminism—it’s our responsibility.
