"Bisi Alimi is one of the world’s leading organizers fighting against homophobia, racism, and sexism in Africa and beyond."

"From my experience, feminist men are mostly patronizing and trying to shape the agenda of women. They are the kind of men who want to be part of the women’s movement by telling women how to say things so [men] don’t get offended."

A refreshing interview with a gay man, who has a good understanding & perspective on sexism, racism & homophobia.

Good article. Although here he says ...

"I come from the school of thought that feminism is a lived experience. If you have not lived a day in the shoes of a woman (or a trans woman), you cannot label yourself a feminist."
