I'm a feminist because...

I grew up with my grandmothers, exceptional role models who took care of business.

Because even though equality should be a non-issue by now, there are still people who need to be educated.

Because my father, a true gentleman, taught me that ‘Southern male feminist’ shouldn’t be an oxymoron.

I’m a feminist because...

my mother raised me that way.

Because my wife is the most intellectually-sound person I know.

We live in a women’s world where us men have two choices: Let our egos get the best of us and impede progress, or stand with the women and be a part of progress.

I’m a feminist because…

I was born in Haiti, and I’ve been raised by my mom, grandma and aunts.

I didn’t even know that there are men who don’t think women should do what they want, but now that I do, it really bothers me.

We’re all human and we should be treated the same.

I’m a feminist because…

I’ve been married to a professional dentist for 45 years and raised four children, and I understand the challenge of working mothers.

There simply isn’t any difference in capabilities, but women seem to have more tasks to accomplish.

When you have equality between men and women, the species just behaves better.

I'm a feminist because …

Having emerged from the comfort of my mother's womb and benefited from the safety of her milk, wisdom and kindness, I am a better person. By her example, I’m equipped to impact the world through simple gestures and ordinary actions. Being a mommy's boy is cool!

Although the former semi-pro football player and boxer promises he can still take a hit just fine, the mere thought of an encounter with a jellyfish brings him to his knees.

“It’s like 20-30 bee stings at once! I would think about it every time I went in the water,” shivers the Savannah born-and-bred CEO of Coastal Solutions, Inc.
