Women not equal?
In these past months, I've noticed an increasing amount of arguments over gender quality and the struggle for men and women to have equal rights. I've noticed terms like "feminist" turned around into a term for men called "meninist". This "meninist" group is a mixed group of men who genuinely believe it's for the better of humanity for men and the other half of the group is immature "men" making fun and joking about the real struggles that women go through in their everyday life. I don't think that the inequality of women is anywhere near being made a joke. The fact that women still get paid less than a man doing the same job is horrid. The fact that women are afraid to simply walk down the street alone at night is extremely saddening. The fact that this group even exists makes me scared of what and who my future daughters will have to deal with. I think society needs to wake up and realize that we don't live in a perfect world and we never have. There are dirty secrets within society that need to be shown and shared with the world.

Even being a male, this whole "meninist" phase can be seen nothing more than an absurd and offensive joke upon the opposite sex. I wholeheartedly agree that women do deserve equal treatment in our society as any other human being, and seeing this group just passing it off as a sort of fart joke, quite frankly, just sickens me. Though I can imagine some of them having a sort of reasonable justification for their affiliation, possibly due to the fact that in some cases in social media, women take things a little "too far", I still don't believe that they should just outright ignore the damages that it places in our society.
