Can A Man Be a Feminist?



Hello and good day to you. Welcome to another blog post. Our focus today isn't on any arguments about what feminism is or isn't. Instead, it is about the great lesson I learnt recently from a great friend of mine. We got into a conversation about the issues women have to face in various areas of our lives.


Then he said, do you know I am a feminist? My jaw dropped - although he couldn't see my jaw as we were talking over the phone. My response was one of intrigue as I couldn't wait to hear what he had to say. How so is all I could really say.

At this point in this post, let me just say that I have never really taken the time to educate myself in what the word feminism really means. I hear so many negative connotations about the word. I often wondered if I was considered a feminist based on the issues that I talk about - who knows. 

You see, my friend explained it to me in very simple terms that made so much sense. Here is what he said in a nutshell. It is really about the following:


  1. Equality of rights for women - that's fair enough I thought.
  2. Inclusion of women in areas where they may be excluded or marginalised - another very fair definition.
  3. Fairness in the treatment of women - what more could be further from the truth.
So, there is it in plain English. Anyway, we continued our very deep and interesting conversation and found ourselves talking about how some women are treated unfairly(by both male and sometimes what I call he/she bosses) when they need to take time off work due to childbirth and maternity leave, menstrual problems or pregnancy.

Guess what my response to this part of the conversation was?

Should Women Invest Differently To Men?

Money Literacy Educator

As a woman helping and teaching women who have experienced domestic abuse the simple ways to create wealth for them, this topic such an interesting one.









It's very easy for me as a single mum to use the excuse that as a woman, I need to invest differently to man. Why?

Start Early - if you can

From a young age, investment was discussed in my home by my late father. My dad was the only man in our household - as he had 2 daughters.  I invest so that I can create a financially safe future for my children and I. I also invest for the future education of my children as I DO NOT want them to have to borrow money for their education. I also invest as the job market is very risky right now - with there being no job for life. Ultimately, I would like to live off of my investments when the time comes to retire from the hustle and bustle.

Financial Adviser or Not

I've never actually had a long term financial adviser, therefore, the issue of not been able to fully communicate and comprehend my investment needs has never risen. This is not to say that I don't appreciate that it can be a mind field when it comes to understanding many of the investment options out there.
