We have our [live show on Monday 26th February](https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/the-gender-knot-podcast-live-in-london-tickets-43002439454)! We’ll be joined by guests [Michaela Wain](https://twitter.com/michaelawain1) (entrepreneur, contestant on The Apprentice) and [Chris Hemmings](https://twitter.com/hemmch) (journalist, author of ‘Be a Man’) as we discuss: can women break into boys’ clubs?
As we’re busy with our live show, we revisit the season 1 archive again this week and bring you our episode asking: should men be involved in feminism, and if so how?
There’s been a trend for more men to get involved in feminism and it makes sense; if women are to overcome hurdles, many men need to learn what these are and how they can do their job in creating a more equitable world. But sometimes men who want to help out do more harm then good. Do male feminists help the cause, or simply hijack it for their own gains? Should women learn to cater messages to get men on board, or that part of the problem? And what are some things that even progressive men think about but don’t share about feminism?
