The Dumbest Thing of All: Meninism

     After being told the blog assignment for this week was to be sarcastic about something I think is dumb, I was so excited that I proceeded to ignore my second hour teacher in favor of making a list: "Things That Are Dumb (to Satirize)". The list was easy to write, and became quite extensive. The hard part is picking which terrible thing or idea to satirize. Garden gnomes (I mean, just why are they a thing), writing "2k15" instead of "2015" (it's the same amount of characters, what's the point, except to look ridiculous), our obsession with hair (it's basically glorified strands of keratin containing cells), the quote "do one thing every day that scares you" (it is day 1467, and the only thing left that I am scared of is jumping off of a building, I have no other choice, I jump), and the patriarchy (enough said). However, there is one thing that is more ridiculous than all of these put together: meninism.

     For those who are fortunate enough not to have heard of meninism, it is basically a movement opposing feminism by men who for some reason believe that feminism's fight for equality is taking away their already predominant rights. Still doesn't make sense? It probably never will. These men, who already have more rights and power than women, fear that women finally achieveing equality to them will lessen their control over women. And, for some reason, that is a terrible notion that warrents an incredibly dumb movement determened to undermine feminism and it's struggle for equality. They call it "men's quest for rights"- how do they not realize that they already have more rights than women? Clearly, these meninists are a bit dense; their cry-baby attitudes, fragile egos, and ineducation on feminism make them the worst kinds of people. Their super important issue of losing the control over women that they so cherish is taking away from the bigger picture: feminism's struggle for equality. No, not domination. Sorry meninists, wrong yet again. 

Meninism in three accurate and unpleasant words.
