I like the idea behind the community but it is a terrible name.
The men’s liberation movement is a concept going back 50+ years. It would be difficult to change that at this point.
Also r/MensLib is a large, well-known sub with a well-defined remit. If you are going to start something similar on here it would be confusing not to go with a similar name. However, because of its scope, from what I saw, it tended to be a bit alienating to those who didn’t toe the party line.
So there is room for a community focused on a broader, looser discussion of the topic (although it’d need strict moderating), like:
I’m sure there are much better names, such as Positive Masculinity for example.
Healthy Masculinity? It seems to be the more accepted term, although they can be used interchangeably.
