The word Maskulismus is an analog formation to toolism, which is used of parts "„of the new men's movement "“as self designation. Like the women's movement the Maskulismus understands itself as an initiative with the goal of correcting as incorrectly felt political measures on the basis of the constitutional state principle. The representatives of the Maskulismus turn on a fundamental change of the social standards for own statement of the needs of the men out and to strive.

Relationship to the toolism

Conceptually the Maskulismus understands itself as Gegenthese to the toolism. It represents anti-toolistic positions or sees in the toolism the main cause for the disadvantage of men, felt by them. He sees those parts of the social research, which in his opinion are toolistic coined/shaped critical. Maskulisten work also with other anti-toolistic oriented man-right-learn together, e.g. with father-right-learn in that national Organization for Men. The per-toolistic part of the men's movement and the per-toolistic "„man research "“are rejected however mostly strictly as one-sided. On the other hand the anti-toolistic theses of the military historian Martin van Creveld and the libertaristischen "„ifeministischen "“(=individual tool NIST) theses Wendy McElroys are judged as trend-setting. is free the maskulistische equalization-assigned of the magazine peculiar Arne Hoffmann, which itself with its theses themselves as a speaker for parts of the men's movement designation and "„dissident "“publishes toolistic and/or explicitly anti-toolistic positions. Toolistic debates around the topic pornography and women's rights, like the right to self-determination over the own body to make regarded under libertaristischen aspects and the attempt undertaken, these usable for man-legal demands. Many of the socio-political questions placed by Maskulisten stand also on the agenda of other currents of the man right movement.

Developing history

In the USA "„the maskulistische movement is about 15 years older "“than in Germany. Roots of the Maskulismus in Germany lie among other things in "„the father movement "“. Maskulisten take in thereby it the opposite adjustment of the so-called "„new men's movement "“. The new men's movement is a relatively recent social movement, the end of the 1990er years partially from the men's movement came out. In the USA Maskulisten in man right organizations are national Coalition OF Free Men or that national Organization for Men organized like that.

Contrary to the Protagonisten of the Maskulismus the traditional men's movement pursues not the resistance against the Frauenemanzipation or sees themselves on "„the search for a new maleness "“, but aims at extracting the man from its traditional sex role. For example "„suffering from the ererbten man life and the desire for its enrichment are brought up for discussion "“. On the other hand on the part of the Maskulismus a fundamental change of the equalization politics is demanded in favor of the men. The Maskulismus krisiert since the 1980er years constantly growing political influence of the toolism, which leads partially to a woman promotion, which is based in fact on unequal treatment. The Emanzipationsbewegung is accused at the same time since 1968 only with the modernization of the traditional role picture of the woman to have concerned itself. Also therefore one was missing to a large extent the Frauenemanzipation equal Maskulisten do not want to understand themselves with this argumentation as a anachronistisch conservative movement, how it is often accused to them. In their reference to "„the new men's movement "“, they understand this as a storage tank for member of different political convicitions.

The appeal of the Maskulisten on it that one informed oneself together with "„the new men's movement "“on the solution of man-specific problems, does not explain however the very different perspectives on these problems. While the emancipatory part "„of the new men's movement answers "“the social construction of "„maleness "“analyzed and critically, Maskulisten see straight in the Essentialisierung of the maleness, and thus in the defense of traditional and new "„the solution "“of the problem, to whose solidification the enemy picture "„of the Feministin "“and the stigma pictures of "„the Softis contribute "“and "„soft eggs "“.

Political goals of the Maskulismus

There is no official program of the Maskulisten. Thus the goal stating gathered in Internet forums form above all a collection of anti-toolistic Posititionen, which are occupied only rarely and unsystematically semi scientifically. Here particularly on "„the new men's movement "“one rekurriert. So besides a common denominator is maintained, which positions itself unequal treatment put out by men and women in favor of the women and thereby again clearly anti-toolistic. From it a pallet results as goals of defined topics, which overlap with the main topics of the men's movement. In the Maskulismus however both other explanations for the problems and other solution methods are offered. Arte speaks of ideological key topics. The objectives of the US-Maskulismus are somewhat simpler to seize, since they crystallized here in the last years as own current within the man right organizations. Among other things here a goal belongs such as re-establishment of traditional values (e.g. Family) likewise to the program. Besides cross-linkings and personnel overlaps with the anti-abortion and different one exist from many than "„reactionarily "“designated movements.

Life expectancy and health

Maskulisten argue biologistically and in the sense of a traditional woman and man picture. Thus one regards the prominent German Maskulisten the toolism "„as a serious evolutionary defect "“.

In this connection by seven years the smaller life expectancy of men is brought up for discussion compared with women. As a cause for it health damages of the work as well as deadly industrial accidents are seen, which are regarded due to the unequal sex distribution regarding the work (particularly the physically heavy and dangerous) and its extent as man specific. To men go it also health more badly, because they would have to nourish women and family. Therefore it should be more strongly arranged for men in such a way that they did not designate their health or their life in one from the World Health Organization (WHO) "“occupations of death"” on the play to set would have, in order with the obtained income women to maintain. On the other hand no large movement is to traditionally female occupations, which are less well paid, as for instance secretary or a Krankenpfleger to recognize on the part of the men's movement. From maskulistischer representation the health system should be cut more strongly to men. Besides be past the knowledge conditions over the male in the comparison to the knowledge over the female body around approximately thirty years, since the medical focus is directed toward the female sex. In addition the health insurance companies would spend substantially more moneys on the treatment of women than on the treatment of men. Also the cancer precaution begins with women up to 15 years in former times, even with kinds of cancer, at which prove-measured in the not covered period more men than women die. Is demanded partly a man physician, who examines and treats the sex organs similarly to the gynecologist cared for from the youth in the age regularly. Also it is necessary to develop aimed offers of help and consulting for men approximately regarding depressions.

Force against men

Men need the same protection and support measures after maskulistischer view as women. Among them the demand hides itself after the abolishment on women of aligned social welfare assistance programs, as well as by woman Mrs., woman Mrs. etc. is specifically justified this with the far larger number of male victims of acts of violence in the public area (except sexual force, by which by the majority women are affected). Also the social mediale focus is to a large extent put on on women as victims; Television broadcasts over force against men are the exception and the Federal Government, here in particular the law and the woman Ministry, almost exclusively the protection of the women from force brought up for discussion, although the force statistics occupied clearly the far higher number of male victims in all kinds of force except sexual and domestic force.
