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.

The belief that men are and should be treated as potential intellectual equals and social equals to women. These people can be either male or female human beings, although the ideology is commonly (and perhaps falsely) associated mainly with men.

The basic idea of Maleism revolves around the principle that just because human bodies are designed to perform certain procreative functions, biological elements need not dictate intellectual and social functions, capabilities, and rights.

Maleism also, by its nature, embraces the belief that all people are entitled to freedom and liberty within reason--including equal civil rights--and that discrimination should not be made based on gender, sexual orientation, skin color, ethnicity, religion, culture, or lifestyle.

Maleists--and all persons interested in civil equality and intellectuality--are dedicated to fighting the ignorance that says people are controlled by and limited to their biology.
Maleism is the belief that all people are entitled to the same civil rights and liberties and can be intellectual equals regardless of gender. However, you should still hold the door for a maleist; this is known as respect or politeness and need have nothing whatever to do with gender discrimination.

We need feminism, anti-racism, anti-classism." – "But men suffer too!" – "Yes they do at some points, and it'd be great of you to campaign against that. But neither feminism nor women are to blame.

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.
