What would you have men do when they encounter contradicting viewpoints?

I think men can participate as educated individuals and at times provide interesting incite. But the decisions must ultimately be left up to women.

However, it would be impossible to enforce feminist thought when literally half the population is shut out. This is a problem that I'm not sure anyone can answer and similar issues have been raised in the gay and black liberation/separatist movements.

The question then falls on whether men have a duty to stay out of such discussions. I don't think that would necessarily be the case. But of course a lot of separatists disagree with me. And, as a man, my opinion on the subject is already suspect.
