Men can be feminist allies, but they cannot be feminists as they are not women.
To help put this in context and give you an example: I am not a lesbian but I am an ally of lesbian women and actively support their causes. Just because I support them does not mean I am one of them (aside from the commonality of being women).
No need to be snarky. I was just sharing a belief. You are well within your right to express yourself and write how you feel. You don't need my approval.

Your entire comment was snarky and condescending. Having to "educate" me on what a feminist ally is? As if I dont know already? Again, SORRY I forgot to put ALLY in the title. It's there now!
No need to apologise. My comment was direct and not intending to be condescending at all. I posted it to help readers new to the sub understand the difference bc a lot of women new to feminist theory have been conditioned by liberal feminism to think that feminism has to include everyone other than women which loses its strength in its core focus. You would be surprised how many women are unaware of this derailing of the movement.
But your internalised misogyny has you going off when a woman is direct. Ironically, you're praising a male that has been recycling everything radfems have been saying forever 🙄
Checked him out, he has good content.. But he's not coming from a feminist perspective, which is probably better since male feminists are not in good faith. He's spreading a good message though!

There are no feminist men.

He's an ally, and a welcome one, but not a feminist.
Oh I follow him on YouTube! Everything he says is on point and follows FDS
Thanks for sharing, Queen. ‘The only people who don’t like your standards are the people who can’t meet them’ Ahhh ain’t that the truth.
"The discount bin"? And people wonder why men can't be feminist
i just don’t trust men like that. they can say whatever tho
