ABSTRACT
This chapter gives an account of why the author feels that it is legitimate for him (particularly as a man) to utilise a feminist approach in his work, with an aim of encouraging other researchers to consider and integrate similar thoughts into their work. L. Stanley describes 'feminist methodology' as a broad sense term, concerning itself with the way in which the researcher positions her/himself, the topic she/he sets out to investigate, the method/s or technique/s used, the purposes of the research, and the form and style it is written in. Harding's promotes the principle that it is the nature of the research and the way it is done which sets it apart as feminist, rather than the sex of the researcher. The chapter reviews that men can utilise feminist methodology, but just as only some men can espouse feminist principles and be genuine, so only some men can be feminist researchers.
