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.
