Feminism gave birth to Meninism
As I sat at the breakfast table across my brother, father and grandfather wondering what my opinion could be on this satirical topic, I realized I was twenty minutes late for work, whilst my mother was giving my maid the instructions to prepare exactly what the family likes for breakfast over the phone from her office.
The way I see it, Feminists around the world had it coming because every time one power becomes a little too strong for its shape, there has to be something to counter it, thus Meninism. I believe that the idea of feminism has been there for a long time and if followed in its true form “the fight for equality” it can really make a difference, other than that everything we see on the internet is only social media fluff, of course only girls do not run the world. But we do live in a world where Donald trump is the president of the most powerful state and digital media is influencing or every thought and move and it may even get worse by the end of the next leap year (2020). Which only means that we need to make use the information coming to us very carefully.
By stating all the above I do not completely dismiss the idea of Meninism. This notion too is here for a cause and if we see it beyond the jokes and sardonic tweets, even though I admit that the tongue in cheek humor is worth giving all the attention, we must also appreciate it as a way to give men the space to express, vent and even cry. So today, as a global citizen, I would like to send out this little message into the world and hope it reaches the right minds, which is to blur the lines between Mars and Venus, promote people’s rights as living beings and appreciate everyone’s choices as humans.
