Abstract

Gender equality is one of the social issues that deserves high attention. This research program used an online questionnaire as the research method to indicate different people’s thoughts toward gender equality according to their gender and age groups to discuss the roles of men in gender equality. The result shows the benefits of gender equality levy on both men and women, but some men think that the promotion of such a movement will violate their rights. Many reasons contribute to this misunderstanding, including cognitive differences between age groups and the understanding of gender dividends, etc. Especially for men, this situation can cause their stereotypes towards feminism and gender equality, which affect their involvement in the development of gender equality. The solution is to enlighten men to being part of such a movement since they can contribute to a much better result and outcome. Meanwhile, they will benefit from the achievement of gender equality.
