The review of the book "Men about Feminism" by two world-famous feminists Michael Kaufman and Michael Kimmel discusses the main ideas of this work. The review shows the motives that prompted two very selfsufficient researchers and activists to fight for gender equality and violence against women around the world to resort to the "collective defense" of feminism as a theory and practice, as a worldview of the modern world. of feminism as a theory and practice, as a worldview of the modern world. The authors prove the "naturalness" of the emergence and development of the feminist movement, especially in democratic countries, focused on man as a value and the protection of his rights as one of the main tasks of the modern state. The book focuses mainly on the male half of the community and proves the "benefits" of the feminist movement for both women and men.
