As a rebellion against stereotyped feminist 'Meninist' is a term that has been created over social media sites.
'Meninism is a semi-satirical gender equality and men's rights movement. Its followers are known as meninists.'
These definition explain how meninist are a form of society the rebellion against feminist stereotype. The purpose of Meninist is to contradict what society partly believes incorrectly feminist are and what they believe in, they are the opposite version of a feminist as certain people see this yet are infact the same.Also these are seen as people who call out sexist feminism, people who stand against feminism or the empowerment of women, highlight the hypocrisy of feminist. FEMINIST AND MENINST BELIVE IN EQUALITY THEREFORE ARE THE SAME.
Whilst explaining what a meninist is these definition also explore more the stereotypes of a feminist as it shows that people think feminist support the abuse and rape of men where this is far for the correct definition, feminist support equality therefore would fit against this idea. This concept of creating an effectuality 'anti-feminist' party shows the deep misunderstood nature of the the label/ideaolgy.
The main platforms used to promote this
'The BBC reported on it last year, describing it as a hashtag "started by men sharing jokes", but said some were also using it to “express the difficulties of being a man in the 21st century".'
'#MeninistTwitter hashtag has picked up steam, and now features memes and questions about why "men can't have the same equality as women"' SOCIAL VERY POPULAR
'originally hijacked from male feminists' STARTED BY MALE FEMINIST
Was then used as a platform to promote anti-feminist and sexist tweets.
The term meninism was used in the early 2000s to describe male feminists who opposed sexism and supported women's right for equality in society, politics and at work. By the next decade, the term was used on social media to make jokes which mocked and criticised radical feminism. In 2013 the BBC reported that the hashtag #MeninistTwitter was being used on Twitter, first to share jokes about feminism, but later to share more serious difficulties facing modern men. In 2015, Nolan Feeney of Time reported that those who used meninist hashtags "generally fall in two camps: people who use the term to call out ways they believe they’ve been victimised by feminism, and people who make fun of the first group for not understanding what feminism means in the first place"
