Daijr/s also have おとこしゅう. They both reference archaic works (The Pillow Book, Tales from Uji).
Obunsha's kokugo only has an entry for おとこしゅう, and it has an archaic tag.

Pixiv's dictionary has this with a different reading (おとこしゅ) as an abbreviation of 男主人公. That may be why Hendrik proposed this entry.
