In his TED Talk filmed in may 2015, Promundo-US board member Michael Kimmel, made the surprising, funny, pratical case for treating men and women equally in the workplace and at home.
"Gender equality is in the interest of countries, of companies, and of men, and their children and their partners, that gender equality is not a zero-sum game. It's not a win-lose. It is a win-win for everyone. And what we also know is we cannot fully empower women and girls unless we engage boys and men. We know this. Men need the very things that women have identified that they need to live the lives they say they want to live in order to live the lives that we say we want to live.
In 1915, on the eve of one of the great suffrage demonstrations down Fifth Avenue in New York City, a writer in New York wrote an article in a magazine, and the title of the article was,'Feminism for Men'. And this was the first line of that article: 'Feminism will make it possible for the first time for men to be free'."
