Malenism

Malenism is a word coined by Irfan Kaushar in 2025.

It represents the struggles, emotions, and silence of men in a society where their pain is often ignored. Just like feminism gave a voice to women, Malenism gives space to the unheard voices of men — not as a rivalry, but as a balancing force.

Malenism is not anti-women. It is pro-emotion. Pro-equality. Pro-truth.

This word stands for:
• Men who cry but are told “mard ko dard nahi hota”
• Men who suffer in silence in toxic relationships
• Fathers, brothers, sons who sacrifice but are never appreciated
• Boys who are victims of false cases or bias
Those who carry pain quietly while being told to “man up”

Malenism = Let men speak too.
