Men and feminism

This is the comment I just posted on the video of Emma Watson's speech to the U.N., inviting men to join in the struggle for equal rights:

Men who believe in equality have an opportunity and an obligation to speak up, to make it harder for sexists to dismiss feminism. I am a man who believes that women are human beings, and should be afforded all the dignity and rights thereof. I am a feminist. (I say this not for pride, but simply with the understanding that to be otherwise would be shameful.)
