commarxism:

mythicalnerdfighter: commarxism: spoofd: commarxism: spoofd: got a shirt Women have always been seen as people. We are the same species, which really hinted us along that path. if you think that the shirt is actually saying that women are not people or haven’t been people, then i can’t tell you how wrong you are. that’s not the message. it’s not trying to make anyone aware that men and women are of the same species. it’s talking more about women being treated as people, and argue all you want but women are not treated how humans should be. read between the lines, look a little deeper. it’s a metaphor. Then, I will ask something which relates albeit only through concept rather than words. When people wear “meninist” shirts, why do feminists not look between the lines and a bit deeper to realize it’s a joke? Should this not bet the same concept? They’re different kind of jokes… This shirt is sarcastic. It’s saying that women are obviously people, but they are treated like objects rather than people. Meminist shirts are just making fun of feminism because the people who wear them don’t give a shit about women and are obviously misogynists and/or don’t actually know what feminism means. Meninists shirts are also sarcastic. The jokes on things like @meninisttweets or whatever are clear parody, it even says on the side. Meninism and meninists are not misogynic, in the same way feminists and feminism are not misandrist.

Obviously feminists are not misandrists because feminism means equality, not misandry. So called meminism is not the same as equality, it’s a joke at the expense of feminists.

From what I’ve seen, ‘meminists’ are usually the sort of people who think misandry and feminism are the same thing or are misogynistic (Obviously not including the parody blogs you seem to be referencing, which are making fun of meminists, not feminists).

Meminism is ridiculous and harmful to feminism and especially women. It started as a parody of feminism; people who wear meminists shirts basically think feminism is bullshit and 'oppresses men’ (obviously not, since feminists want equality). The sort of people to wear those shirts are the same kind of people to wear 'go make me a sandwich’ shirts and make sexist jokes and do these things while thinking 'look at what a lad I am, bro, down with feminism!’
