feminism

[fem-uh-niz-uh m] 

noun

1.

the doctrine advocating social, political, and all other rights of women equal to those of men.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the above statement, simply put, is equality of both sexes.

But of course, there are an unfortunate amount of men who can't understand that. It's as if they are so jealous that the word feminism, which I'll remind you, means equality of all sexes, that they have to act out maliciously and angrily.. especially online. I introduce to you.. #MeninistTwitter. 

       It's a new trending hashtag on twitter where men are taking stabs are feminists and feminism, and create their own "Meninism". I decided to check it out and I spent a good amount of time going through the tweets, the linked pictures, videos, and other references. I found a common theme within these tweets.. They are all related to possession of women as "property", them being in the kitchen/working, or sexual references and rape jokes. 

It's as if the mere construction of the word, which doesn't actually mean what it sounds like, is enough to make them believe that women are attempting to attain more rights, privileges, and opportunities than men in every aspect of life. These tweets were degrading, threatening, cruel, and often times downright inhumane regardless of the gender being targeted. 

It's 2015. How are some people so incompetent? A misunderstanding of the word has half the world saying "fuck feminism" which means "fuck equality of all genders". Are we not trying to take a step forward and not backward? What's next? Slavery will be coming back? It's ridiculous how hard headed and stubborn the world is. If people took the time to do some simple research, a lot of problems and stupid accounts like this wouldn't happen.
