Starting from a survey of men who are involved in feminist collectives, this article offers an analysis of the collective and individual responses to the (even partial) reproduction of social gender relations within feminist groups. It thus shows that the presence and activism of men implies organizational adjustments that are aimed at taming male domination. For activists, their own reflexivity about their individual exercise of male domination puts at risk their involvement, which leads to two attitudes: either to downplay their participation in the reproduction of male domination, which allows them to maintain their involvement in feminist organization, or the explicit desire to confront male domination, which threaten their activism and very often leads to disengagement.
