Unless masculinism is defined the same way we define feminism-
I would imagine masculinism could be defined as promoting non-stereotyping in male roles...for example giving more respect and support to stay-at-home fathers, single fathers, eliminating our society's stigma attached to males showing emotion and crying, etc.

The negative stereotype of feminism is of a bunch of women who hate men and want to get power from them. Why define masculinism the same way?
Ideally, both feminism and masculinism would be more about enabling both genders to discard stereotypical roles in society and be able to enjoy the same choices, the choices that are right for them as individuals of any sex.
Admittedly, choice-wise, things are currently lopsided. However I think that discouraging stereotyped roles for men would benefit everyone, including women.
I would think both feminism and masculinism would be about everyone being able to have the same choices in life without being subjected to ridicule and unfairness.
