I'm a cis male and I believe in the importance of feminism, but I hesitate to call myself a feminist because it seems like there is a presumption of understanding women's experiences as if I was part of the Me Too movement. In some binary sense given how hateful and shitty men can be I'm absolutely a feminist, but I wouldn't declare myself to be one. What is your standpoint?

I'm going by the actual definitions and not my own personal take on what they mean. If you feel that then you do you. My only concern is that everyone gets to live happy, healthy, and free from oppression.
