Gender Studies Query - Men's Feminism
 

There is a topic in syllabus : Men's feminism .
Can somebody explain what it is ?

I googled bit couldn't find any pertinent information.

Men's Feminism: Stands for those feminists who are male. I mean men working for the rights and liberation of women. But some feminist schools of thought (Radical Feminism+Standpoint Feminism) contends that men can't be feminists, the reservation of Standpoint Feminism makes a point here.

Feminism is equality of men and women both.

Male feminism is not about women's liberation. It is about not conforming to gender roles and society's insistence on maintaining the status quo and patriarchy
For example if a man does not want to be employed and wants to stay at home. Society has no right to treat him as an inferior being. Feminism will advance when men break through these cultural barriers and only then the true equality for both men and women can be achieved.

Of course it can only happen when women feminists stop male bashing otherwise men feel defensive which gives rise to movements like men's rights and so on.

I have prepared gender studies from gender studies by M. Nawaz Khalid. Following are the main points of this topic.
-it is a field of study that applies feminist theories to the study of men and masculinity.
-focus is to scrutinize masculinity as carefully as femininity and to develop a theory not of masculinity but of masculinties ( having said that it means to analyze and scrutinize men's role, inequalities and discrimination in available opportunities , sex prefrences).
-it develops a concept of hegemonic masculinity which is used to dissect the differences between and within groups of middle class and working class men of different ethnic groups and sexual orientation.

Thanks , I have gone through the answers and will surely go through these dimensions.

Once again. Thanks
