I was just thinking... If a feminist is someone who wants women to have equal rights with men, couldn't someone who wants men to have equal rights with women be called a masculist? And so masculists would be for the right of men to wear skirts and dresses and make-up if they wanted to, and for the right of men to not be drafted into the military, etc.

But then I was thinking, maybe I'm not the first person to come up with the term "masculist". And, indeed I'm not: Wikipedia article on Masculism.

Not a term I was familiar with, although I thoroughly support the ideology. Thanks for the link. I have always subscribed to both feminism and masculism; an atandpoint which I describe as anti-sexism. Do you know if there is a more widely used term for this?

There are some books out there that I'd deem "masculinist" -- I will compile some titles for ya when I'm less sick.

Gender Equality, perhaps. Although from doing a search on that, it seems to be used more in terms of women's issues than men's.
