"Menship" refers to the bond close male friends share. (Compare to "Femship") Friends is a broad term that can sometimes describe an acquaintance, a ride or die or anything in between. Menship indicates the depth of the relationship, and differentiates between a man and a guy who is a casual friend and a man and a guy who is his "brother from another mother".

It's an empowering term for men to publicly and proudly acknowledge their love and strong bond with the friend they consider "my boy" or "my man" without being overly vulnerable. (We know vulnerability can be hard.)
International Men's Day, should not only celebrate men, it should encourage men to celebrate their menship.

Friends come and go, so bid bon voyage to friendship, we been boys from yay low, this is a menship . (BARS!!!!)

Brought to public attention by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein in the book on the fall of Richard Nixon, All The President’s Men, ratfucker was Nixon’s term for a political operative who sows chaos among opponents; an agent provocateur. It is thought to have originated among campus political rivalries at USC, and seems to have some usage in the US military.
Along with Nixon’s other ratfuckers, Roger Stone caused fights at otherwise peaceful Democratic Party protests to generate a false narrative that the Democrats were violent and dangerous.
