As long as there's no hate from either side, and as long as we admit that there are injustices men face (that may or may not be rooted in misandry), and that we should work towards reducing these injustices (just as we should work towards reducing the injustices women face), there should be no problem. Unfortunately, so-called feminists justify hate towards men, and/or flat out deny that there are unique injustices that men face - past and present, as clearly evidenced when reading through this thread. I see this way too often, and it's a reason I'm hesitant to calling myself a feminist by today's standards, as not only is the movement at times against that which seems like it would be in their interests, the "feminist" term has also been hijacked by other movements that have nothing to do with women or the injustices they face.
