Feminism v Meninism

[Jazzy]

A discussion about the equality of the sexes has been taking place on Twitter in the US this week. But this time it's not about women or feminism - but "meninism".

The #MeninistTwitter hashtag was initially started by men sharing jokes - some of which were criticised as offensive by feminists. But supporters of the hashtag say it's become a channel for men to express the difficulties of being a man in the 21st Century.

#BBCtrending recreates a selection of the tweets and asks whether "meninism" is a valid idea.

Your thoughts on this?

Both are idiotic. Feminism is a demand of equality... plus all the things women are entitled to.

I think my favourite quote ever comes from Code Geass.

"All men ... are NOT created equal! Some are born swifter afoot, some with greater beauty, some are born into poverty and others born sick and feeble. Both in birth and upbringing, in sheer scope of ability every human is inherently different; Yes that is why people discriminate against one another, which is why there is struggle, competition and the unfaltering march of progress. Inequality is not wrong, equality is."

It's neat, and brings up some interesting points.

It seems to make sense.
