My partner's thoughts on me starting to identify as a (male) feminist! (self.Feminism)
submitted 4 months ago * by HorologicalClown
My first reddit post so I apologise if this post isn't fantastically written! I've been seeing this girl for a few months and we are hoping to get married! Initially I was kinda close minded, didn't know too much about feminism but after spending the past few weeks reading around women empowerment, feminism, patriarchy has really opened my eyes and has made me reflect. I feel it has helped me improve as a person, smell the coffee and made me reflect and make changes in myself (I won't bore you with the details, maybe in another post!). My partner obviously noticed this (she sent me a really sweet message about it which I'm sharing). I don't think I've done anything special, but just trying to improve and be a better partner (and hopefully husband!) and ensure I support her decisions, respect her space and empower her and do what I can to help her achieve her goals and ambitions!
Just thought I would share my experience and glad that my first post ever is on this sub-reddit!
So without further ado, this is what she sent (to clarify, we live separately at the moment).
''Over the recent months, I believe it is within the last 2 or so weeks that the changes in your attitude to me as a wife and to your role as a husband have drastically changed. You have become so so much more supportive in me wanting to work and in fact want to help me achieve my goals which is absolutely amazing that you want your wife to achieve, and potentially achieve more than you. Hearing that sometimes you have a look at my publication and feel proud really warms my heart and how much you are such a big fan of me (and I guess my work) and it truly shows that you love me and support me and are my biggest cheerleader hehe.
It's been amazing how you’ve understood that some space (not a lot) will be a good thing for us as a husband and wife and I still find it hard to believe just how open and willing you are for me to go out, even more excited about it than I am which I find so adorable. You sitting at home like a cutie and waiting for me to come back and do little jumping jacks when I come back makes me melt with how cute and adorable you are.
Last main point id like to make is just how understanding you have been through my exams, through the housework that I have to do and through my slower replying. You’ve become so much kinder and more patient with me, way way way more than you were initially and I think you really have shown how much you have matured in the last month or so and how you understand that even if I may reply slower, I still love you with everything I have. You wanting to help me with housework and generally to help relieve the pressure of me is so rare to find in a guy especially one who is very driven academically, so you even saying that really is wow.
