Masculinism Part 2,3, and 4

Continuing on this masculinism philosophy, I will critique the final three principles:

2:All Men are Good.

All Men are able to practice kindness, respect and love.
All Men are redeemable.
When Men practice kindness, respect love and misandry ends.

I have no issue with the first statement. All men (Could probably be changed to all people), are indeed capable of doing good. I disagree with the second and third points however.Not all men are redeemable. Some men I would say are beyond hope. Not many, but there are some genuine sociopaths out there where they psychologically contain. I would change this to 'Most men are redeemable.' The third statement is a bit unclear. To give the author interpretive charity, I will reword this to be "When men practice kindness, respect and love follows, while misandry ends." This I can see as useful. However, I still don't see how these reasons instantly mean all men are good. I would add a statement "Most men are capable of being kind." Finally, I would change the premise "All men are good," to Men as a group have the capability of being good."

3:All Men are Worthy.
All Men deserve kindness, respect and love.
A Man must recognize that he is worthy.
A Man must recognize that all other Men are worthy.

Overall, I like the beliefs behind this, but I would call them too naive. Not all men deserve kindness, respect, and love. Believing that all men are worthy of this is a nice ideal, but there are just some horrible men out there. Therefore, I would change this entire argument to:
3: Most Men are Worthy.
Man should have kindness, respect, and love, until proof shows otherwise
A man must realise and try to acheive his worth
A PERSON must realize that most men are worthy of Kindness, respect, and love.

4: All Masculinists are Dutiful.
A Masculinist internalizes these truths.
A Masculinist lives these truths.
A Masculinist teaches these truths.

I have no argument with these ideas. I might want to make them less constant, but these are only minor flaws.

Tell me if you have any other ideas on what to do with this philosophy, please tell me.
