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.
