I'm of the opinion that we absolutely need male feminist voices out there - as long as they are doing what you're doing and not telling women how they should act or advocate for themselves (like some other guys I've seen). Even if you do get a lot of pushback from the red-pillers, men still listen to other men more than they do to women and studies done at Cambridge found "Research in social psychology and political science confirms that those who are not targets of discrimination often can be more successful when addressing it."

I honestly think the ONLY way we're going to have real progress is if we can get an impactful number of guys to take on changing the culture - and even men who think like you do need to hear that they aren't alone.

There have been a number of studies in the past several years that demonstrate that significant numbers of men are uncomfortable with the way some of their male peers talk about and treat women.11 But since few men in our society have dared to talk publicly about such matters, many men think they are the only ones who feel uncomfortable. Because they feel isolated and alone in their discomfort, they do not say anything. Their silence, in turn, simply reinforces the false perception that few men are uncomfortable with sexist attitudes and behaviors. It is a vicious cycle that keeps a lot of caring men silent.

I appreciate you continue to ask yourself questions about how you go forward, but I personally think you're doing an excellent job.
