Feminism also works for men's liberation, because men are also harmed by traditional [[gender role]]s. | Some scholars consider feminist campaigns to be a main force behind major historical societal changes for women's rights, particularly in the West, where they are near-universally credited with achieving women's suffrage, [[gender neutral language in English|gender neutrality in English]], reproductive rights for women (including access to contraceptives and abortion), and the right to enter into contracts and own property.

This vitriol doesn't always extend to trans men, who they view as "lost women" who are seeking refuge in manhood from misogyny. TERFs also do not support nonbinary or genderqueer people's identities.<ref>[[Eris Young|Young, Eris]].
