Hello! Long time no post. I want to post something that has been on my mind for a while now. So there is a new (and horrible) trend called “Meninists”. Basically, they are completely opposite to feminists in every way. On my Tumblr ( http://fam0us-last-words.tumblr.com/ ) there has been a user who is defending meninism. I understand not everyone will have the same point of view as me, but I feel like it’s my right as a person to express my views.

First off, I don’t know the user who has been sending me their defense, but I can tell you their points are weak. They say “I personally have no problem with feminism and wanting equality…”. I was thinking “Rad, good.” Then they continue with, “…but meninists want to keep their control and power too, that’s true equality!” Um, no. Feminism literally means – “the advocacy of women’s rights on the grounds of political, social, and economic equality to men.” However, there are feminist extremists out there, I agree. I am not an extremist myself, I’m just passionate about this movement. The user arguing with me thinks I’m an extremist simply because I used the phrase,” As a feminist, I want our society to stop viewing women as just a fashion accessory or a sexual object on a movie screen”.

I also want to just point out, if these so-called “meninists” act so confident with themselves, they wouldn’t be calling themselves a meninist at all. Also, a woman didn’t slave hours into the night or hours into the morning to give birth to someone who disrespects other women. Sigh… Sometimes I feel as if I’m an extremist, but other times I know I’m not because I just want everyone to be equal and be treated like humans and not everything being a contest.

Welp, that’s it. That’s my late night rant about feminism.
