Meninists stand for an extremely important cause; perhaps the cause that needs our attention the most. They address issues that are totally pressing and would definitely not be solved by feminism.

Since sexism is a very sacred value that we all hold near and dear to our hearts, meninists focus on girls not having sex with them instead of how the patriarchy forces them to be manly, an inconsequential issue. They rightly believe that woman owe them sex because they’ve been such sweet, nice guys. This is proven by the fact they regard females as some sort of machine that you can feed compliments into and “get” sex in return. I don’t know any better way to show your decency as a human being. They also rightly blame women for their large number of struggles (eg. not being able to get laid) because people are not responsible for their own lives.

Meninists have a very effective way of supporting their cause. First of all, you cannot be a meninist if you are not straight, cis, and white because then you don’t know the very real struggle of being the most privileged member of society. To show their endorsement of the cause, they make the very reasonable purchase of a shirt declaring themselves as a meninist. This is the best possible way this money could be spent. There is no good reason for it to instead be donated to charities that provide relief to transmen or war veterans that may have had to go to war because of the draft. Meninists are against the draft because women, the weaker gender, are not included. Again, this issue would absolutely not be solved if the ideas of feminism were enforced.

Men need meninism. I mean, how are they supposed to meet the impossible standards they hold women to? It’s ridiculous to think that men should be expected to find a girl over size 2 attractive and won’t look twice at a female who is. Women are the real picky ones because they “prefer tall guys but are open to whoever I’m attracted to.” Some might call this behavior in men fat shaming but that is simply ludicrous. Men encounter so much strife- they should be cut some slack. I mean, in addition to all of these absolutely heart wrenching woes, they also seemingly have an inability to do the dishes or make a sandwich. Can you imagine what a anguish filled life they must lead? It’s painstakingly difficult to believe and understand that a human being (and not any human being, the most elite of all- the straight, white man) must endure such calamity and agony. For instance, people don’t take them seriously when they make the perfectly equitable proposition that if women are to be allowed to breastfeed in public (a natural process needed to sustain life) then they ought to be granted the right to walk around with their testicles on display.

Thankfully, there is a very popular twitter account with over seven hundred thousand followers that spreads awareness. One tweet comments on the rich advocating wage equality by saying “. . . the fake care is cute” because meninists are above them, as they always practice what they preach. This account also frequently comments on perhaps the greatest source of suffering: the friend zone. This ties back into the entirely valid idea that women owe men sex, especially if the man has treated the woman with some degree of human decency. Honestly, what’s the point of having friends of the opposite gender if you can’t sleep with them? If you ask a meninist (the only trustworthy source), there isn’t one. Since you can decide who you are attracted to, it is the fault of the female when she rejects the male after they have given her everything she could have ever possibly wanted. She clearly took advantage of this man who by no means threw himself at her, essentially forcing her to be nice to him.

Obviously, men in first world countries are definitely the ones who have it the hardest. I beg you, if you meet the requirements, please join this cause today. Support it, by buying a shirt. Embrace it, by taking advantage of your status as a straight, cis, white man.
