the term masculinism as one of my recent edits has been reverted quite unfairly i believe we should discuss the legitimacy of the term masculinism in reference to the men's movement i argue that the term masculinism is incorrectly applied by feminists and is in fact distinct from masculism in that masculism is to feminism masculine and feminine as masculinism is to femininism masculinity and femininity further that most masculists believe the term masculinism to be incorrect just as feminism is incorrectly referred to as femininism
