I actually do think men shouldn't up and claim the label for themselves, but I also think it's not a big deal if they do. After all, the vast majority of people haven't really been in a space where they've been able to understand this hairsplitting between 'activist' and 'ally'.

Rather than frothing at the mouth about who can be what, though, I think it's more telling about how a man reacts to someone telling him or asking him to refer to himself as an ally instead.

Reluctant disbelief/initial incredulity? It's to be expected. When I heard the term at first, in the context of lgbtq activism, I thought it was dumbest shit, even though I'm not anything close to cis or straight.

Violent denial and entitlement? Dan Savage level blow outs about how he's so knowledgeable and great? Other petty arguments? Probably gonna side-eye those dudes real goddamn hard.

But overall I don't think pays to be so textbook perfect about some of these things, because I feel like drawing the hard red line everywhere is what makes people forget about the individual, human element, and breaks down important lines of communication.
