Generally, they're described as part of the men's liberation movement. The men's movement split decades ago into men's rights movement, which often comes at the issue from a more conservative premise that views feminism as going to far and eroding men's rights, and the men's liberation movement which generally is more liberal and wants to critically look at traditional masculinity and how those expectations may harm men.

Hmm, intuition implies the inverse. I would have guessed men's liberation means "liberation from women" and thus misogyny. I guess unintuitive terminology is just the way things go.
