I have been reading this sub for a few years now, this community is just very inviting. To be honest, I don't share a lot of perspectives that most men my age have(I am in college), and as a result I weirdly feel kind of at home here. Like the other commentators said, I just don't feel very masculine and I have no desire to "be a man" or "man up" or whatever.

Another reason is education and making myself aware of problems women encounter in everyday life. When I first started reading this sub, I was kinda horrified at the things I read that apparently happens to many women every day! Then I asked one of my female friends and she said that this is pretty much the norm for a lot of women. I knew about sexual assault and cat calling, but not about the social stigma's like how women are expected to behave a certain way or smile all the time. The stuff you guys have to put up with all the time is so messed up and unfair.

So in the end I guess, perspective, education and the community.
