Preferred term

men's groups  

Definition(s)

  • Men's groups, as organizational units, have been commonplace in human history, but most discussions of men's groups deal with those that involve self-aware decisions to create a community or collection of men for particular reasons: to socialize, to gain the benefit of cooperative action, or to realize the economic results of acting in unison. Such groupings have been called fraternal organizations or clubs, support groups, or lobbies. [Source: Encyclopedia of Community: From the Village to the Virtual World; Men's Groups]
