Do you consider yourself a Masculist?

And if so, how do you define it for yourself?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Masculism

Update:

Several answerers consider themselves 'equalists', and thus neither masculists or feminists. Interestingly, this site considers gender egalitarianism to be being both feminist and masculist:

    I also consider myself an equalist if anything.

    I prefer non-discrimination to two sides each arguing for preferential treatment.

    Some of the characteristics of masculism overlap with anti-feminism and men's rights advocacy. However, I don't believe that men should all be seen as superior; just like I don't believe that all women are superior.

    I agree with many aspects of different ideologies, but I define myself as a MRA and anti-feminist.

    Feminism and Masculism are both Sexism.

    Madluv has a good point that few seem to see.

    Nope, I have done absolutely nothing to support men's issues in particular. Same reason I don't call myself a feminist because I haven't done anything to support women's issues.

    Not that I have anything against either of them, it's just when I contribute to charity that isn't what I focus on.

    Nope, nor a feminist. I'm not sure I like the term equalist, it's a bit ugly, but humanist is already taken, and I'm one of them too.
