allmale

Allmale is an adjective and, less commonly, a proper noun used to describe a group, space, or product that consists entirely of male individuals. The term can be written as all-male or as a concatenated form in branding or domain names, where hyphenation is often dropped for stylistic reasons. It is typically contrasted with all-female, mixed-gender, or single-sex descriptors such as all-moys or all-boys in specific contexts.

In everyday usage, allmale commonly appears in descriptions of organizations (for example, sports teams, clubs, or religious orders), events or facilities designated for men, and products marketed toward men. It is also used in discussions of single-sex education or housing, where the aim is to indicate the absence of female participants or residents.

Linguistically, allmale shares kinship with other all-terms like all-male, all-female, and all-boys, though the latter sometimes carry age-related or cultural connotations (for instance, “all-boys” often refers to younger groups). Allmale spaces and initiatives are frequently analyzed in the broader dialogue about gender segregation, inclusivity, and equal access. Proponents may argue benefits such as tradition, focus, or safety, while critics highlight exclusion, discrimination, and social inequality concerns.
