Masculinism Part 1.

So, we often talk about feminist philosophy, but is there a masculinist philosophy? Curious about what I would find, I typed in "Masculinist Philosophy" on google and discovered an interesting website. Now, I am not saying that all masculine philosophy is like this, since I have had such limited experience with it, but judging from what I read, I am a bit skeptical. On the site I found, it listed "The Four Truths and Twelve Principles of Masculinism." I have a few issues with them. I will discuss their first truth and first three principles in this post, and my criticisms of it.

Truth 1: All Men are Men
Yay Tautology! But anyways, the three principles behind this are:

1. A Man’s self declaration makes him a Man.
2. A Man’s thoughts, feelings, words and deeds are always Manly.
3. Therefore, a Man is always a Man.

What does it exactly mean to declare oneself as a man? And if a self declaration makes him a man, then he was not one before this declaration. Therefore, a man could not self declare himself a man since he was not one beforehand. Also, the second statement: "A Man’s thoughts, feelings, words and deeds are always Manly," I find incredibly wrong. I do not hold the belief that all actions or thoughts have a gendered connotation. Compassion is neither male or female, hitting a baseball is not masculine or feminine, and there is nothing gendered about sleeping, showering, eating, so on and so forth.

Although I wholeheartedly disagree with the second principle, The first principle might still be salvaged? Perhaps what This philosophy was trying to state is that when a man self declares himself as a man, it means to say that when a biological male identifies himself with and takes pride in his masculinity, he becomes an 'ideal' version of a man. I think this would be a slightly more defensible version of the principles. I still find problems with it, but it is much more clear. If anyone has any more ideas on making this idea more defensible or wants to critique this, feel free.
