Hommes contre le patriarcat is a pro-feminist, radical affinity group which recognizes that the feminist struggle is a class struggle and a struggle for the freedom of women and thus accepts that it  belongs entirely to women. The collective supports feminist activists, specifically by addressing men. Its main aim is to quell masculinist groups, but it also tries to bring radical change to their so-called private lives, attempting to eliminate sexism and patriarchy in their behaviours and attitudes.
