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!
