What actually is "Masculinism"?

[Aiko_E_Lara]

Is it good or bad?

[Dreamclouds]

In my opinion is when a really strong man is not afraid to cry

[Fuentes]

Men should be Men & support men for being men.

[msmissydc]

Well if done right its good and an ally of feminism. But it shouldn't be used as a cover up for mysoginy. Bassically the same as feminism.
When they work together it should work as a form of humanitarianism. Each part can focus on their biggest issues but supporting each other instead of working against each other.

[Roller69]

Lovely description! 😁

[Aiko_E_Lara]

I can't believe I haven't responded to this for more than a year but I will respond to it anyways.

You know it's not that hard to just support humanitarianism if that is what it would turn out to be.

[jennifer_bloom]

I don't know but I'm curious what the men have to say about it. I would just guess it has to do with male empowerment and male rights and maybe male sexuality and and male freedom or male dominance socially either with all genders or romantically with just women.

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

You're born biologically male then you are automatically masculine.

Now, what society says that to be masculine that you have to like sports, know how to fix a car, know how to fish and hunt, know how to fight and all those other social constructs is BS.

[Aiko_E_Lara]

I meant the movement

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

Then I have no idea.

If feminism were gendered reversed, that’s masculinism — standing up to misoandry. Misoandry means bias towards men, as opposed to women. Men must have short hair, women don’t have to. Men must not wear cosmetics, women can. Men can wear trousers and long-enough shorts, women can wear everything men can, in addition to skirts/dresses/short shorts.

Standing up ain’t a bad thing, as long as it doesn’t go to the extremes. Women’s Rights exist, so should Men’s Rights.

I guess its feminine equivalent is feminism, but I'm not an English expert.

[Anonymous]

Kinda lame honestly. Stuff like that feels like someone who wasn't getting enough attention made it up. Obviously I agree males should be treated about equally to women, since they're both people. But, you know

[Aiko_E_Lara]

And what about feminism?

[Opinion Owner]

When they came up with feminism, women clearly had it worse. They couldn't even do a lot of things.

Masculinism just feels like a response to specifically bitchy women. And, even if it is valid, it makes more sense to focus on general gender equality rather than only males since that idea will appeal to a much larger audience. Another problem with that idea is some of them don't really care for equal treatment, and just want to be sexist. That's actually most guys I see who call themselves "masculinists". Most of them see women as some kind of freakish demon creature.

But the idea of wanting to be treated EQUALLY to women, and seeing yourself as equal to women, is fine.

I don't know about feminism now, since even most leftists seem to not be paying as much attention to women's equality, and are more focused on LGBT stuff specifically. But I do think obviously sexist or attention seeking feminism is bad.

[Aiko_E_Lara]

Then what you are showing is double standards and i thought feminism is about equality. And it also prove that the feminist movement also only focus on females. What does women only like to take a look at is how much men made it on top of the corporate ladder but they also fail to ignore how much men are at the bottom and also blame it on men for majority of women's choices. I mean even today women don't even like to get drafted. Nobody likes to get drafted but since biologically speaking we are the less special sex since we don't have the ability to give birth like you do, which is why society made men disposable. It is just now that the world is getting easier for anyone to work that made women and men more free. And can i also say most feminist also see men as some sort of demons?

[OddBeMe]

Like everything: politics, religion, sex…. we all have different defintions. Most generic, I’d say would be “society’s expectations of men.” And yeah, I dont see any benefit honestly.

[Voldra]

Masculinity is what I define it as. I would encourage other men to search their soul & do the same.

[TonightYouu]

Its fookin awesome

[AngryCarl]

No idea. Is it perhaps a brand of aftershave?

[Snakeyes7]

"Masculism"? So having a positive character trait is a belief now?

[Mediterraneansoul]

It means to be self reliant and lead by example and demand respect

[Berethor]

It's a counter to feminism so it's good.

[andreasderjuengere]

I'd not be aware if there is such a thing.

[HippieVeganJewslim]

There is.

[andreasderjuengere]

@HippieVeganJewslim You mean that babbling about ''Alphas'', real-men-theories, frustrated mgtow ranters and such?

[HippieVeganJewslim]

Not just those.

[Jamie05rhs]

Not sure. Never heard of it.

[RandomGuy1032]

Its gonna lead to men dating other men
