I started to become interested in feminism over the last few months, but with the last horrifying cases of crimes against women i saw that many feminist women have (reasonably) learned to fear us, or at least, have some resentment towards us (again, reasonably), so, do we have a place in this movement, or we should take a step aside

    Yes, of course. I’m a man, I was raised to be feminist, I’ve never had anyone tell me men were unwelcome in the feminist movement. That doesn’t mean I’m welcome in every space, though; part of being a male feminists is rejecting the chauvinist idea that my opinion is welcome anywhere and instead listening to the needs of women, including women who don’t trust men die to past traumas.
