Me Myself

Anyone will choose their label. I deem everyone that advocates for men`s rights when they see it needed to be a masculist, which includes me. I would like the thread being green ebcause I am aware many people are not comfortable with the label and it would make them refrain from posting if it was purple.
There are different positions in what regards to men right`s dvocates I would assume. Most societies are pathrilineal and just in there we already have an element of patriarchy IMHO.
That said, a reinforced point is that instead of us all being oppressed by "the bigger "man" " we were all oppressed by fixed gender roles.
Men were forced to be the sole providers of the family in many cases and the women were forced to be the ones making and taking care of the children. Men who could not provide for their families were seen in terrible light, as did women who did not take good care of their children or husband or home.
I think the most terrible abuses were towards the women although I would assume this would vary depending on the culture (the vikings and spartans were more women friendly than other societies for example).
The point of a sensible Masculinist in my view would be to tak notice of the problems of men, without any compulsion to pretend women do not have problems or to see "who has it worst" or if they have "equally bad problems"
Some masculinist say that the gender roles are desirable, point I do not agree with. Masculinism has a lot less time than feminism but it also has its diverging ideas, like any ideology really.
