Pulver, Andrew (5 October 2018). "Gemma Arterton and Keira Knightley write hardhitting pieces for feminist collection"– via www.theguardian.com.There is absolutely a space in feminism for discussing male-centric issues. There are plenty of feminists who discuss and focus on men's issues. Men are great and valuable. But arguing "feminism needs to do more for men" and contributing little else (while overlooking the broader picture of men and feminism) does nothing for anyone.
