I truly believed that a man should not be seen to be out front on feminism. That would be just like a man to try to take over the women's movement. We'd taken over everything else in history, in society, in the world, why not feminism, too? No, I don't think so. Terry Fallis
About This Quote

In the 1970s and 1980s women’s rights were increasing in the United States. Women were campaigning for freedom and equal rights, but then in the 1990s, feminism (the movement for equal treatment of women) began to fall. Many people believe that being a feminist was a man’s thing to do. However, while some men took over the movement, other men did not.

In fact, many men supported feminism by becoming active within it. Also, while some men may have been seen as a “man’s thing” to do, being a feminist was really just being a human being who believed that women should have the same rights as men.
