Menaissance

What is Menaissance?


1.

'Men Renaissance': Anti-female, 'post-sensitive' male movement in America. Man is no longer threatened by faulty relationships and is always in control if he ventures into one. The woman in question is now the 'manizer', not he the 'womanizer'!

This alpha-alpha 'Manliness' of post-feminist America is nothing but -- deep in the social texture -- a load of old 'fanny'! Hehe!

Menaissance has its roots in the early 80s victim-power of the 'battered male syndrome'!

There are now men's studies, men's rights/ movement, Men-Lib (Men-Liberation)... something called 'Guyville'/ guyness/ guyhood! New Man/ Wild Man! Iron John/ Laddite or 'ladditism' in the UK... and these collectively mirror feminism in what is known as 'masculinism', or less-frequently, 'hominism'.

2.

return to a pre-modernist

old-style masculinity, where men present themselves as macho, hanging-

out-with-your-mates, beer-swilling, sexist chaps. Menaissance is a word compound from Men and Renaissance(of 'real men').

* Daily Mail, 12 Jul. 2006: Of course, advocates of the Menaissance

may argue that we shouldn't be too concerned about what kind of a

man women want these days. Isn't that, they would say, the way we

arrived at simpering metrosexuals desperate to please their other

halves?

* Philadelphia Inquirer, 8 Apr. 2006: A woman friend tells me

there's a desperate need for a "menaissance." Many women are weary

of sensitive emo-boys and metrosexuals.
