It might be helpful to some of us if you could illustrate what you mean by 'really supporting women'.....JewOne
Christine probably has met only one, as such men are extremely rare in any society and practically non-existent in Western Religions. First and most important such a man will view all women as potential partners in making society better for all people. This means using his male privilege to help them achieve whatever goals they choose to aspire to.
If he is better at STEM e.g. he will spend his educational years helping women who aspire to STEM success learn his skills rather than merely honing his own skills for a better chance at success for himself. (This is not entirely selfless as mentoring is one of the best skill honing techniques known.)
At work he will use his male privilege to mentor and promote women and other minorities to their Peter Principle level in the organization, even at the expense of his own advancement. (It will affect his advancement as most organizations are paternalistic and "Privilege hath its Rank.")
He will choose a wife based on her potential to make a better society rather than her ability to improve his own position in society, and will sacrifice his career goals if necessary to give her the opportunity to achieve hers. This means changing diapers, doing housework, cooking more than his share of the meals, taking the kids to piano lessons, doctors, and emergency rooms even if it means leaving a board meeting, even managing the middle of the night feeding, (when the kid cries he gets up, brings the kid to mom, hangs herm on the teat (mom won't really wake up), changes the diaper and sings herm back to sleep.)
NB this does not necessarily mean choosing a business career woman. Many of the opportunities especially for women to make a better society are volunteer activities, but done properly take as much time as a full time job.
Just the tip of the iceberg for a man really supporting women. Some will guess the rest.
Most won't give a damn.
