"A new movement, “masculinism”, is uniting the right behind extreme
anti-feminist views, chiefly in the United States. It promotes the dominant
role of men in society, including the idea that men should dominate women.
The movement is led by figures such as self-declared misogynist Andrew Tate
(named by the
New Yorker as a “singularly influential proponent of
masculinism”), who has just been arrested in the US, with his brother Tristan.
UK authorities have just announced new charges against the brothers related to
allegations of rape and sex trafficking – adding to previous charges in the
United Kingdom, and a criminal investigation underway in Romania.
Other masculinists include male supremacist podcaster Myron Gaines, white
supremacist influencer Nick Fuentes and preacher Doug Wilson, leader of a
network of 170 churches whose followers include US war secretary Pete Hegseth.
The term “masculinist” was originally coined in the late 1800s or early 1900s
to refer to defenders of male domination. It was then adopted by some in the
men’s rights movement in the 1980s as part of a reaction against second-wave
feminism. Now, it is being widely used by manosphere and far-right figures and
groups.
Masculinism is an extreme form of a men’s rights movement, which believes men
should have more rights, power and opportunities than women."
