Do men have a place in the feminist movement? (lemmy.world)

I started to become interested in feminism over the last few months, but with the last horrifying cases of crimes against women i saw that many feminist women have (reasonably) learned to fear us, or at least, have some resentment towards us (again, reasonably), so, do we have a place in this movement, or we should take a step aside

I think this answers the question OP asked, and I don't think anybody disagreed so far: the answer is yes, but not to detriment of the expression of the voice of women, who are the main victims of gender inequality. And like, even if men agree, we shouldn't make it all about us, and learn to shut up sometimes.

Is that what you guys meant?
