Usually geared towards
heterosexual males, this is an ideology that encourages typical masculine behavior in men and boys. Masculinists are usually cis-gendered, however, but do hold a global diverse following of males of all ages, races, nationalities, sexualities, etc.
This is not to be confused with masculism: the movement which seeks to bring awareness to the issues facing men & boys within the
gender outside it (systemically, socially, & spiritually) as
well as focusing on the various achievements made by men & boys throughout world
history.
Masculinists often believe that masculinity is plunging, although this claim can not necessarily be proven right or wrong experimentally. It'
s an often commonly opinionated expression.
Glorifiers of masculinity and this ideology don't care if a
guy is effeminate. This movement was specifically formed to shine a light on the positives of masculinity. This movement was formed to spark the conversation of what masculinity is since much of the talk surrounding masculinity itself is that it's "
toxic".
Lela: You know, Derry is aware he's a bit effeminate. He thinks it's because he's always surrounded himself with women & girls. He wants to explore his masculine side. I said I'd let him know if I found
something for him. Could you help me out?
D'Nita: Absolutely!
Sam Freeson, the
janitor from my university, has tons of youtube videos on Masculinism, too! Tell him to check it out!
