lol will they find any? Most of the feminist men I know tend to just be doing that to try and fail to get in someone's pants.

Any men I know who're 'feminists' in the sense of equality don't see themselves as feminists but as egalitarian.

I'm sure statistically they have to exist but I've never met one IRL. Or if I did meet one I didn't know it because they didn't tell me. Probably a good idea TBH because I'd probably fall over laughing.

The only feminist men I've ever encountered were in articles or documentaries and they were either awkward incels or were sharing the wife/gf with multiple dudes.

Yeah I'm convinced all the normal ones that just want equality don't feel the need to do that yass Queen slaaay shit and would rather just quietly donate to idk a charity helping girls education in various countries. Even then the fact is they don't see themselves as feminists because the connotations there now tend to be not so good.

Male feminists just have a really...off vibe that you don't get from people that actually believe in equality. I can't really explain it but it's really uncomfortable. There's an almost predatory feel to them. Like they think they're owed something for supporting it.

You're not alone in noticing that vibe, trust me. It's pretty much assumed, at least by people who aren't themselves part of that demographic, that male feminist is just shorthand for "I'm a creep who projects my own bad intentions onto other men and loudly broadcasts my 'allyship' as both cover and as a way of advertising my 'good one' status in hopes of getting laid."

Honestly there's an unstable element to it too, it just feels like you don't know what they'll do if turned down/rejected and the 'feminism' doesn't work. Normal people just move on. They seem to idk fixate? more than others.

Honestly, considering that the male feminists are basically "that one guy in your friend group who is willing to throw any friend he has under the bus if it gives him a .5% better chance of getting his pee pee wet one night", you kind of know what they would do if turned down/rejected, and it ain't pretty.
