"Feminism is great," he tweeted "but terms like toxic masculinity are degrading. It borders on that imaginary concept to feminists: misandry."
Such inflammatory comments caused many feminist women to target the captain with fiery rebuttals. One rebuttal, written in The Mary Sue, amounted to 1300 words, and painted Shatner as a "men's activist".
Shatner, a long time Hillary Clinton support, did not back peddle away from the barrage of tweets targeting him, engaging many of the women in healthy debate regarding misandry.
A great lesson can be derived from Shatner's willingness to support his views, though unpopular with the armies of feminist women that took to Twitter, it echos the masses in contemporary America.
The alienating views of some feminist women in America are quickly become so repulsive, that folks previously supported their cause are now having to reconsider.
As men, it is important to stand your ground and always fight for your own civil liberties. The notions of yesteryear are long and buried, yet it seems many would like to hang onto these dated concepts to continually remove masculinity from our society.
Always be true to yourself, and if that means you have an immense degree of classic masculinity, exhibit it proudly and often. We still have free speech and must constantly exercise this despite any negative feedback it may garner.
We are American men, and for that we need not apologize to ANYONE.
