Liberal men who claim to understand or embrace feminism

The problem with liberals who claim to be pro-feminist but actually are not is that they do not understand that what feminists are fighting against is a prejudicial SYSTEM. Many males who consider themselves pro-feminist are heavily imbued with gender essentialism. They have the attitude: "I will support her as a woman so long as she lives up to my standards and does not have the attributes of an hysterical lady. But if others bring on the heat, I will condemn her entirely, because, after all males are rational and women are emotional and she ought to be making more effort to embrace my standards."
