Five vocal male feminists who are in full support for their female colleagues when it comes to their safety at workplace and equality! Know them!

• Cases of old sexual misconduct are popping up and making headlines in the tabloids every other day.
• This proves that society still has a long way to go as regards granting an equal status and providing justice to females that constitute nearly 50% of it.

Though it is natural to have a biased attitude toward males in this regard, one should not forget the contributions of the males who come out in support of their female colleagues in the workplace.

Even Hollywood has such vocal male ‘feminists’ who are not afraid to speak their minds when it comes to injustice against women!

So who are some of these ‘noble’ male celebrities who came out openly to give the females the much-needed support and courage?

Let us go through the list!

Ashton Kutcher

Ashton Kutcher has been voicing for women’s safety at the workplace even before the recent spate of disclosures about sexual assaults and misconduct reached the dailies and media.

In 2011, during the release of his ‘No Strings attached’, Ashton said:

“I think there’s so much that’s not said about sex in our country, even from an educational level,”

He is also a human rights activist. He had added:

“The one thing they teach about is how to get pregnant or how to not get pregnant, but they don’t really talk about sex as a point of pleasure for women … Part of that creates a place where women aren’t empowered around their own sexuality and their own sexual selves, and from a purely entertainment point of view, to create a more with a female lead that’s empowered with her own sexuality is a powerful thing.”

Ryan Gosling

Ryan Gosling is the father of two daughters. This Canadian musician and actor had an interview with Evening Standard in June 2016 where he put forth his thinking on feminism. It turns out that he respects women and had grown up amongst very strong female relatives.

He said:

“It’s our time as men to be on the receiving end of the stick. I grew up with women so I’ve always been aware of it,”

He was all praise for his daughters when he said:

“I think women are better than men. They are stronger, more evolved. You can tell especially when you have daughters and you see their early stages, they are just leaps and bounds beyond boys immediately.”

Prince Harry

Prince Harry was in Nepal in March 2016 and speaking on an occasion, he said:

“There are way too many obstacles between girls and the opportunities they deserve. So many countries are ailing to protect the opportunities of young women and girls in the way they do for boys. I believe that it is vitally important for men like me to acknowledge this as loudly and openly as role models do, like President Bhandari, the U.S. First Lady Michelle Obama, and activists like Malala. It cannot just be women who speak up for girls.”

Harry Styles

The crooner Harry Styles was once spotted wearing a shirt that read:

‘Women are smarter’.

This says a lot about him. He admitted to Rolling Stone in April 2017 that girls are our future and make good doctors, lawyers, mothers, and presidents…He is happy with his female fans who he says always tell the truth.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt

Joseph possesses multiple talents and he very vividly described what should be ideal for a society to thrive and progress. He had said:

“What that means to me is that you don’t let your gender define who you are — you can be who you want to be, whether you’re a man, a woman, a boy, a girl, whatever. However you want to define yourself, you can do that and should be able to do that, and no category ever really describes a person because every person is unique,” 

He continued:

“That, to me, is what feminism means. So yes, I’d absolutely call myself a feminist. If you look at history, women are an oppressed category of people. There’s a long, long history of women suffering abuse, injustice and not having the same opportunities as men, and I think that’s been very detrimental to the human race as a whole. I’m a believer that if everyone has a fair chance to be what they want to be and do what they want to do, it’s better for everyone. It benefits society as a whole.”
