Feminism is important to all genders because it seeks to end patriarchy which harms both men and women, for example patriarchy suggests that men shouldn't cry, shouldn't care for children, and that men are slaves to their penises. Feminism frees men from the same oppressive system that keeps women tied to sexist gender roles too, and fights for mens rights along with womens rights.

Feminism is the assertion that women have been historically disadvantaged relative to men, and a commitment to changing oppressive structures.

Eco-feminism is a specific sub-set of feminism that opposes all forms of dominance: men over women, heterosexuals over homosexuals, and humans over animals (this last point is crucial in making it eco-feminism instead of just general feminism). Eco-feminism focuses on how hierarchies are linked and how these hierarchies affect not only people, but also the natural world.
