Tired of feminism, are women switching to meninism?

While there is no dictionary entry for Meninism it’s general described as,”a men’s rights movement that claims to campaign for men to have the same equality as women.”

Believe it or not it's women taking up what began as a joke. But some are behind the movement saying they are "fed up of feeling judged by feminists." Metro reports the idea took off on social media as the women say the current climate does more to divide the sexes than it does to bring equality.

The twitter account points out the idea started as a joke but it has grown a following quickly. Other women don't think it's funny and worry it could set back their push for equality.

In a #HeForShe campaign address to the UN last year Harry Potter star Emma Watson put it this way. "I have realized that fighting for women's rights have too often become synonymous with man-hating."

Watson continued, “it is time that we all see gender as a spectrum instead of two sets of opposing ideals. We want to try to galvanize as many men and boys as possible to be advocates for change.”
