View submission: Do your boyfriends/husbands call themselves feminists?
Calling yourself a feminist around "conservative" people has consequences.
Saying you believe something in private without actually letting go of your privilege is not a good look.
Having "conservative friends" isn't a good look either.
People can say whatever they want in private, actions and standing behind your words are the only things that matter.

I agree, I don’t think men necessarily have to use the label, but if it’s because they don’t want to face judgment from conservatives for their views then they’re maybe working on becoming an ally but they’re not really an ally yet because they’re still primarily focused on men’s feelings.
To me it’s the same as how I’m not going to stand for anti LGBTQ / anti trans rhetoric even if it pisses people off. If someone is going to be spewing misinformation or hate against people I care about then they’re not someone I need in my life anyway.
