Ally of the women-folk

sexartandpolitics:

I think I just thought up a much better identification for myself than “feminist”.

I’ll just be over in my corner wondering how to stop myself from inserting myself into these conversations.

Isn’t pro-feminist the usual term? Or perhaps that applies to other contexts.

What does a pro-feminist/ally of the women-folk man-person do when he meets a woman who says she’s not a feminist/doesn’t agree with feminism/doesn’t like feminists? It’s difficult to shut up and listen, which is indeed my usual approach on matters feminist, but being a man preaching feminism to a woman makes me nervous in my testicles.
