Men's Liberation

"Not to be confused with Manosphere."

Men's Liberation is a movement focused on the restraints that modern society puts on men, particularly their ability to openly express their feelings and emotions, and to undertake in traditionally not "manly" tasks. They are generally supportive of feminist movements but they may not get along all of the time. Usually identify as "anti-sexist" but can sometimes call themselves feminist depending on the context.

Personality
Unlike Manosphere, he is portrayed as being actually a genuinely kind person to people and tries to treat everybody equally. Still, some feminists don't trust him completely and other men (especially Manosphere) call him a cuck or soyboy. He wants to be friends with Feminism but she is a bit skeptical of him due to his advocacy for men's rights, even if he ends up siding with her in most issues.

When venting about his personal problems, tends to talk about lacking physical contact, intimacy, wanting to express his feelings (crying in particular) and often feeling bad about his sexuality. He often just wants intimacy or to be cuddled and believes male gender roles don't allow for him and men in general to do or receive those things. This can either be exploited for ad-hominem attacks similar to manosphere or used to portray him as someone who genuinely relates to other men who feel their role in society has vanished and can actually talk to and empathize with them and their issues instead of ignoring them and letting Manosphere pick them up.

Regarding his views regarding gender inequality, he tends to (generally) believe that the Patriarchy is at least somewhat pervasive culturally and that it affects everyone negatively, but believes that average men do have it better off than average women, but he also often believes and emphasizes that patriarchal expectations can be enforced by women as well and that it's usually not as simple as a opressor-opressed dynamic. He believes that Patriarchy as an idea misunderstands the equal vulnerability of average men within society and is inherently exclusive to men who do not conform to the roles it prefers. Lastly, he often stresses the importance of Intersectionality, alongside also not describing it as a simple opressor-opressed axis when talking about men's and women's issues, and often emphasizes the patriarchy as it relates to  Trans or  Gay men, as he believes these men are more prone to defy patriarchal gendered expectations and thus be harmed by and have different perspectives on it as a result.

Regardless, he argues that manliness should not be defined by traditional perceptions of the term and acts how he want's whether it be considered traditionally masculine or otherwise. Sometimes he may act like a femboy, but is still proud of his masculinity. He also lifts, not because he wants to impress anyone but for his own betterment. Known to call his friends "King" or "lad".

Friends

 * [[File:Fem.png]] Feminism - Although we may argue sometimes, you are still a friend and an ally, especially in overcoming toxic masculinity. (Just please tolerate me more.)
 * [[File:Long.png]] Longism - Ah yes, ALL MEN ARE KINGS!
 * [[File:Gay.png]] Gay Men & [[File:Trans.png]] Trans Men - KINGS!!
 * [[File:Progress.png]] Progressivism - I agree with you that gender stereotypes harm both women and men, and that we should work towards gender equality. Even if we may not agree completely on the nature of the [[File:Pat.png]] Patriarchy, i still see you as an ally.
 * [[File:Civlibert.png]] Civil Libertarianism - Expansive civil liberties? Gender equality? LGBT rights? Yeah, this is it, based!

Frenemies

 * [[File:Libfem.png]] Liberal Feminism - Yes, both women and men should be free! But NGL, "The future is female" sounds pretty cringe.


 * [[File:Libertfem.png]] Libertarian Feminism - While I support sex workers of all types and genders, Feminism is all about pointing out the systemic injustices of society and correcting them on a systemic & societal level, including in sex work! How do you expect to do that within the individualist framework of Libertarianism? I don't hate you and I definitely don't hate your job, but I just think you're missing the point.

Enemies

 * [[File:Mansphere.png]] Manosphere - You could've been an ally, but you're just incredibly misguided. So drop the racism and sexism, and stop calling me a soyboy! Also, if you want men's benefits, you need to embrace feminism as a legitimately positive movement and not the devilish misandrist cult you portray it to be.
 * [[File:Altr.png]] Alt-Right - So, you think men being used as cannon fodder is empowering? Oh, and you're just insane by the way. I will pass...
 * [[File:Radfem.png]] Radical Feminism - I came about as a response to you, but you just seem to hate men. Women are not the only victims you know... Also why can't I act feminine? I will act how I want. And your comments, postings and "guidelines" on FDS are literally oppressing men and cringe.
 * [[File:Nazfem.png]] National Feminism - My arch nemesis-- a literal Feminazi!
 * [[File:Mat-0.png]] Matriarchy - Empowering females for the sake of empowering is bad. Also, pre-designed rules for both genders ain't sound right.
 * [[File:Anarcho-Fascismalt.png]] Nilssonian Anarcho-Fascism - Bigot, misogynistic, violent, racist, xenophobic, reactionary etc... seriously this guy is crazy AF. Manosphere ain't sending their best.
 * [[File:Jackanfash.png]] Donnovanian Anarcho-Fascism - His Libleft and esoteric brother, he's even more violent and savage. Also why don't you accept that you are homosexual?
 * [[File:Dengf.png]] Dengism - Hey! How a man wants to dress himself is his own business! Stop permaban me you totalitarian fuck!
 * [[File:Pat.png]] Patriarchy - While in many ways you might be weaker than ever thanks to [[File:Progress.png]] Progressivism, your supporters are still powerful, your victims are still numerous, and your gender roles still SUCK!
