I started to become interested in feminism over the last few months, but with the last horrifying cases of crimes against women i saw that many feminist women have (reasonably) learned to fear us, or at least, have some resentment towards us (again, reasonably), so, do we have a place in this movement, or we should take a step aside

    Resounding YES. Gender liberation is for all people. It is impossible to liberate women without also liberating men and people with other genders from the ideologies that harm everyone but most visibly manifest as misogyny. If you act in good faith and don’t recreate sexist dynamics (or stop if you accidentally do) you’re good. Activisty spaces can be cliquey, have messy dynamics or sometimes (unfortunately) be gender essentialist but don’t let that discourage you. This is everyone’s fight.
