Guys Realize They're Feminists After Learning What The Word Means (Video)

by Emily Arata

Are you a feminist?

In an astonishingly earnest video, Upworthy stops male pedestrians on the streets of New Orleans to ask about the connotations of the word "feminism" and whether they'd be comfortable identifying as a feminist.

The results are nothing you haven't heard: Feminism implies militant beliefs and man-hating.

Feminism and equality are for everyone.
