As the battle for gender equality continues to rage, a disturbing trend has emerged in the men's rights movement: the rise of masculinism. This ideology, which has been gaining traction in recent years, posits that feminism is emasculating men and seeks to reclaim traditional masculine roles in society. Proponents of masculinism argue that men should be in control, while women stay at home to raise children, a notion that has sparked outrage among feminist activists and experts who see it as a step backward in the fight for women's rights. In a recent piece, The Atlantic writer Helen Lewis sounds the alarm on the growing influence of masculinism, warning that it has the potential to become a mainstream movement with far-reaching consequences for women's empowerment.
