A man can be a feminist without being weak. What drives him towards the view lies in his sense of himself and his power as a male. Where the late 20th and early 21st centuries have seen challenges to the Western masculine identity on a level never before seen, confident men are finding common ground with the new fourth wave of feminism–a movement which turns its back on the pervasive pressure to be ‘macho at all costs.’
