Well said, Robert!

Perhaps a better alternative to "the Men's Rights Movement" or "a men's movement" would be to redefine "masculism" itself?

Or, maybe not necessarily even REdefine...but *EXPAND* the definition...

Acknowledging that patriarchy breeds toxic masculinity, which creates oppression, which, in addition to holding girls/women hostage based on misogyny, also prevents boys/men from being our best true selves.

Call it "healthy masculinity" or "nutric masculinity" or whatever you will...but its focus would be on empowering men to celebrate our attributes and authentic selves, in the face of a hostile patriarchal society...and to break the cycle of narrowly-defining what it means to be "masculine."

That would be TRUE "masculism," in my eyes.
