In an era when Donald Trump likened women to "disgusting animals" and Damon Wayans quipped that some women aren't "violable," it's easy to feel disheartened about lingering archaic attitudes.

Yet the video brings reassurance: change is underway. Many men in 2015 championed gender equality, like actor Matt McGorry ("Orange Is the New Black"), who proudly identifies as a feminist, and Dwayne Johnson ("The Scorpion King," "San Andreas"), the ultra-muscular wrestler who speaks thoughtfully about love. A boost of hope for brighter days ahead! 😊
