In an op-ed in the New York Times, feminist and author Jessica Valenti asserts that feminist ideas aren’t just good for women and girls, but men and boys too — after all, they’re the ones that need the most help.

“Whether it’s misogynist terrorism, the rash of young men feeling sexually entitled to women or the persistent stereotype of ‘real men’ as powerful and violent, it’s never been clearer that American boys are in desperate need of intervention,” she writes.
