It's time to start a slow clap for the men who came out to cities across the world during the Women's March on Saturday, Jan. 21. Male celebrities were at the Women's March in full force, supporting their wives, girlfriends, sisters, friends, and even perfect strangers in the fight for equality. It was a totally awesome move in solidarity and show of strength. What these male celebrities proved is that just because it was called the Women's March did not mean it was only for women, nor did women hate men and wish them to not march alongside them. Can I get a "heck yes"?
From London to Washington, New Orleans to Los Angeles, male celebrities currently working in film, music, television, and occasionally politics took to the streets and showed the support for women. While the Women's March worked to advance feminist ideologies further into the mainstream, these men worked to advance the radical notion that men can be feminists, too.
Take note, guys. You're no less of a man for supporting women. These celebs, including Ian McKellen, Misha Collins, and Jake Gyllenhaal, are here to show you exactly that. These may be uncertain times but there's not reason to be afraid; these men and their impetus to march is proof of that.
