Hi Amy
I'm also doing a critical report for a
Women's Studies class and I read the answers
to one of the questions asked (How do men
benefit from Feminism) and some of the
answers were "they get to free up
their emotions and express themselves and
they can have deeper relationships with
other men".
I don't understand how
this has any relation to feminism. If
you could get back to me as soon as possible,
that would be greatly appreciated seeing
that my report is due in one week.
Thanks in advance,
Theresa

As much as feminism has freed up women
to embrace "masculine" things
-- like higher salaries, the right not
to have children, access to power -- it
has free up men to have access to feminine
things -- should they choose it.
Equally
important, I think, is that feminism
has exposed men to a different way of doing
things -- not entirely linear or hierarchical
-- and also very specific things like
they should know about their bodies and
health care the same way that women do.
I hope that helps,
-- Amy
