How do you define a masculinist? What is the opposite of a masculinist?
Someone asked what the opposite of a feminist was, so I thought it would be interesting to ask a similar question about masculinists.

A masculist is a person who believes in the social, economic and political equality of the sexes. (Sound familiar?)
There are many opposites to masculism, anti-masculism could be any number of groups, NOT feminism however. An anti-masculist could be a mysoginist or a misandrist (someone who believes their sex is superior, not equal) it could also be someone who feels inequality is ideal (as in those who believe "traditional" gender roles are harmonious to each other and believe rights should reflect that harmony. anti-feminists (those who oppse feminism because of it's ideology, not it's practices) could be considered anti-masculist

I like to think souls are androgynous and some day society will come to see that. The answer to the war of the sexes is not Amazon overkill feminazis, which might be the opposite you seek here. Nor is the answer well intended patriarchs protecting dis-empowered little women from a world the patriarchs have wrecked in a Munchhausen's by proxy attempt to overtake the baby factories of the next generation.
When my nieces were very young they would correct others in our small town who called their stepbrothers "black". Innocently but accurately they insisted the mixed race boys were light brown.
My immortal soul is not the vehicle I travel in during this life. My plumbing arrangement does not make me better or worse than another because I manufacture the first ingredient for preserving the hominid sentient genome. Extremes in society beget the opposite reaction, I seek the Balance.

The other question actually expanded and said:
"What do you call a person who speaks on behalf on men."
The opposite to a masculinist would be a misandrist.

Proto-Feminist, Neo-Chauvinist, Quasi-Misogynist or a Pseudo-Misandrist depending upon Your initial stance on the issue.

You call that someone "Fifi" -- a pink poodle wearing a tutu.

Gay (or metrosexual if he doesn't admit that having intercourse with another guy makes him gay.)
