"The term 'real men' has become so fraught, and using it is layered with so many different meanings. But since anti-feminists believe that pro-feminist men cannot be real men, we decided take back the notion that supporting women's equality does not in any way diminish our manhood. For both Zachary and myself, supporting gender equality begins at home, with our relationships to my wife/his mother. It's about the way we treat our friends and families — and how we treat each other as guys." - Michael Kimmel, executive director, Center for the Study of Men and Masculinities and his son Zachary. 

Kimmel has been a long time member of national organization for pro-feminist men, NOMAS. It's been around almost 4 decades, rising from men's awareness as 2nd wave feminism called us out to change and help the work of women's liberation and feminism. http://site.nomas.org/
