Feminist but unaware

He does not know

what it means to be a feminist

though he seems to me like one.

As,

he is happy to see an independent women,

he encourages learning skills irrespective of gender, 

he respects women as leader,

he dissuades his spouse from taking the pain of waxing/threading,

he accepts the real human body of a women and has no fancy expectations.

Unaware he gives a glimpse of feminism in practice

when he is kind and treats all equally,

when he is supporting his daughter, sister or wife unconditionally,

when he takes a stand against gender stereotyping,

when he condemn misogynic cussing,

when he is not insecure of her progress,

when he chooses to ignore the vulnerability & takes pride in her body.

He still won't agree to be a feminist

as the word is so negatively popularized.

To him his feminism is well covered in humanism,

and so he practices it unaware.

Men like him are gem and yes sadly rare.
