Something new and promising: A conference in New York with 700 male feminists, led by sociologist Michael Kimmel, who has been pitching feminism to men for almost 40 years. Here’s what Kimmel has to say: “Most men don’t see feminism as being about them, let alone in their interests. The common way that we think about gender equality is as a zero sum game, so if women win, men lose. We believe the evidence lies squarely on the other side, whether it’s in corporations, where the more gender-equal corporations turn out to be more profitable, or in relationships, where the more men do housework and child-care, the happier the women are, the happier the men are, the happier their kids are.”
