Why some men have a hard time calling themselves feminists
Actor Matt McGorry, known for his outspoken embrace of feminism, has some advice for men who need help navigating the #MeToo era: Seek “affirmative, enthusiastic consent.”
It’s no surprise that McGorry, who also had a recurring role in “Orange Is the New Black,” is speaking out on consent and other issues important to women. He’s known for his gender equality activism, especially on social media, and has received some backlash from both men and women over his online proclamations.
“It’s not my place to be the voice of Black Lives Matter, it’s not my place to be the voice of feminism. It is my place to be the voice of white anti-racism, or to be the voice that is encouraging men to embrace feminism,” McGorry said. “Being much more specific and intentional about who I’m talking to rather than just speaking out I think is really important because that is our work as allies is really to engage men.
Former Vice President Joe Biden, a leading potential 2020 presidential candidate, has been caught up in a consent-related controversy of his own, as two women have come forward saying he violated their space in past years and were left feeling deeply uncomfortable.
