As a former Gender Studies graduate, I am only too aware of the pervasiveness of male power which all women still experience in some way. Male privilege is so successful because it is able to present itself as natural and inevitable - but I'm here to tell you that women everywhere still face barriers that aren't in any way natural, and it is high-time that we, as confident, mentally-stable men of iron, start doing something about it!

I cannot help but succumb to lachrymosity when contemplating the fact that arguments so eloquently enunciated by Mary Wollstonecraft in 1792, and John Stuart Mill in 1869, are still struggling to be realised all across the world today. The first wave of the feminist movement should be regarded as one of our proudest achievements in history, but it doesn't, and shouldn't, stop there. The personal is political! All around us, women - particularly in developing countries - still face the most brutal forms of patriarchal power, and progress must be made. Women of the world unite! You have nothing to lose but your chains. Who's with me?

What do you want us to do about it?

I think feminism died the second that ginger guy put on an American flag as a hijab at the women's march, just kidding it was way earlier than that.

The majority don't think of feminism as a rights movement anymore and nobody wants to be a part of it

Surely you only seek women for long meaningful relationships?
Absolutely not. I regularly hold massive sex parties with many of my third-wave female friends. You have to remember that feminism is a fragmented ideology - we each have different standpoints and interpretations. My feminist friends and I all advocate sexual assertiveness and intentionally indulge in gratuitous, vulgar sexual acts with one-another in order to push back against slut shaming and body shaming.
