1. Why is Feminism relevant to men?
It is relevant for the whole society. Men still want to be a part of that, right? ;) Even if men don't get how it might benefit them, they should understand how it can benefit their mothers, sisters, wives, daughters...
2. How does Feminism benefit men?
Why should men be solely responsible for "feeding" the family? How much pressure is that? Why shouldn't men be able to spend more time with their families? You wanted kids right, why not spend some time with them? The list goes on and on...we are not living in the 50s anymore. Change is possible, if men demand it from their peers and their workplaces.
3. Have you always embraced Feminism? If not, what changed your mind?
Actually my believe was that Feminism as a word is kinda "by women, for women" and it just feels weird to call yourself a feminist as a man. But even that should not prevent anyone from being an ally to this movement, because it's simple the right thing to do. Therefore I guess a website like this is actually pretty insightful and of course: why should men not be active feminists?

1. Why is Feminism relevant to men?
In my view justice should matter to everyone, it is just a matter of fairness. There has been and there still is immeasurable unfairness when it comes to gender treatment in our societies, so it just feels like an obvious initiative to support.
2. How does Feminism benefit men?
Switch from a dominant-schemed society to a collaborative-schemed one is beneficial to anyone. Feminism is necessary to correct the imbalance on gender treatment, but in doing so it will encourage a culture of fairness to all.
3. Have you always embraced Feminism? If not, what changed your mind?
I've always embraced justice for all, and equality in the consideration of people regardless of their physical attributes.
