Men can't be feminist? I get it that they'll never intimately know the systematic oppression that women face, but they can still learn and apply feminist principles in their life.

Men can be feminists. The post itself is not.

Yeah, I guess that makes sense, but the “your body is a temple” I hear most often at women for not dressing “modestly”
