Human Rights Logo.

The phrase Men's Human Rights Movement (MHRM) was introduced in January 2013 as an extension of the shorter phrase Men's Rights Movement (MRM).[1][2][3] The addition of the word Human better qualifies that the rights being sought are human rights as differentiated from "patriarchal" or other rights imputed to the movement.

The phrase is further premised on a rejection of the idea that gynocentrism is evolutionarily hardwired and inevitable - a position described in the 2013 article as the MHRM offering "a more thorough socio-political history of misandry and gynocentrism" which were widely discussed in online men's forums in 2013-2015, and later codified in articles by Peter Wright. [4][5][6]

In the past the MRM was falsely characterized by feminist critics as a regressive misogynist enterprise aiming for the revocation of women’s liberties and wanting women to be "essentially barefoot, pregnant and back in the kitchen."[7] This falsehood has been generated by individuals who feel threatened by the idea of men seeking individual liberty and human rights.[8]

The sense intended by human rights is not identical to that referred to in legal philosophies and international law, but refers to the more general recognition that men are human beings instead of emotionless machines or disposable objects; that men deserve the logical and moral right to be viewed as more than objects of utility. This usage comes from the earlier use of human rights and not the version later used in international law, although there is much overlap.[9][10][11]


The MHRM's increased focus on inclusiveness and human rights forms the basis of what is considered a second wave of the men's movement.[12][13]

A Men's Human Rights Advocate/Activist (MHRA) refers to any individual involved in self-advocacy or group-advocacy for male human rights.[14] [15]
