- The relationship between men and feminism has been complex and intricate. Men have taken part in significant cultural and political responses to feminism in each 'wave' of the movement. Such responses have been varied, with some more sympathetic or critical than others, depending on the individual man and the social context of the time. The three main responses to feminism are antifeminist, masculist/masculinist, and pro-feminist, each largely differing in their view of masculinity. Male discourses on women's rights date back to Classical Greece, including Plato's Republic and Aristophanes' Lysistrata. The masculist position advocates campaigns for men's rights. One masculinist position, associated with the Mythopoetic movement and author Robert Bly, criticizes "emasculation of men by feminism", and argues for intrinsic differences in the sexes. Masculism in general, however, is the male counterpart to feminism, and seeks to redress social issues facing men and boys. A further discussion of various masculist positions on feminism may be found on the masculism page. Early pro-feminist discourses have their roots in the philosophies of the Renaissance and the Enlightenment. In the 19th century, first wave feminists and abolitionists found common ground as they worked in order to promote the rights of women and slaves, respectively.
