Feminism. It’s a word with a rich history, that elicits a broad range of reactions and responses from women and men alike. What does it mean, and who can (and does) lay claim to the label “feminist”?

As we prepare to release our annual Women’s Issue next week, we want to know how men feel about the word, the idea, and the label. MUSE Women’s Conference recently tackled this question, asking men “Are you a feminist?” and “Who are feminists?” Check out their video below, and take our survey to share your thoughts.
