The answer in brief

machinesummary, machine-written

Mufti Abu Layth says he would like to think he is a feminist, though feminists seem not to like him.

In more detail

A chat question asks whether Mufti Abu Layth is a male feminist. Mufti says he would like to think he is, since he advocates women's rights in Islam and speaks against people shunning women, but that feminists seem to dislike him the moment they watch him. He wonders aloud whether he gives off a vibe of toxic masculinity, and responds to a chat remark calling him a male chauvinist that he does not think he is one.

Question as read aloud · questioner not identified

but that's actually seen as such an anti-attractive feature especially coming from a man you know oh you gotta be a man you know man have some then people nowadays will be like but what does it mean to be a man this one gender neutral you know gender neutral society yeah but anyway mufti are you a male feminist yeah i'd like to think i'm a feminist i just think the feminists don't accept i don't know you know that's weird because

i advocate women's rights and i speak about women's rights in islam and i'm always trying to speak against people shunning women in islam or stuff like this but i i think i don't know why like feminists that are like the moment they watch any part of me they just don't like me um i don't know like even though i'm not i mean is it my joke so is it is it do i just give off this this vibe that they they think i represent male toxicity no sorry toxic masculinity
