Hundreds of anti-feminist men wear controversial 'meninist' T-shirts

to highlight the 'difficulties of being a man' in the 21st century. Not The Onion!

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-2918591/Hundreds-anti-feminist-men-wear-controversial-meninist-T-shirts-highlight-difficulties-man-21st-century.html

Supporters of 'meninism', a controversial movement that opposes feminism, have now begun wearing 'meninist' T-shirts....

'Support the movement by getting yourself the official Meninist shirt. #YesAllMen,' proclaims the product description, seemingly mocking the #YesAllWomen hashtag that circulated social media to raise awareness for violence against women in response to misogynistic postings by Elliot Rodger before his deadly rampage in Isla Vista, California, last May....

A Meninist Twitter account, which now has more than 600,000 followers, posts misogynistic jokes.

Last night, the account tweeted: 'Ladies, if you have more followers on Instagram than you do on Twitter it just means dudes like you better when you stfu (shut the f**k up).'

Not surprisingly, parody shirts mocking meninism have surfaced in response to the trend, with many poking fun at the shirts' potential to inhibit the wearers' dating lives.

Twitter user Kuh-Reem created a collage of four men wearing meninist shirts with the caption: 'The "I'm never getting laid" starter pack.'

Dr. Happy Knuckles shared a meme that superimposed the statement 'This T-shirt will protect me from your vagina' on an image of a man proudly sporting a meninist shirt.

Another Twitter user Photoshopped a meninist shirt to read 'What does a human boob feel like?'

And one woman changed one of the shirts to read: 'I'm a whiny piss baby.'

You can very confidently check off that you are better than anybody wearing this shirt. It's a great self-esteem boost.

But then again, I don't feel embarrassed when somebody else does something mind numbingly stupid. I'm too busy doing my own thing, which is often mistaken for being crazy by my friends.

Some are very skilled at hiding their assholery until they're already integrated into your social life & it's harder to get rid of them.

they're insecure crybabies.
[IMG][/IMG]
Of all the things to worry about in America and the rest of the world (such as jobs and starving kids), they're worried about feminists fighting for a fairer playing field for women. Words can't describe how much I pity the so-called Meninists' ignorance. This would be funny if there weren't so many like-minded people in the country.

More then likely the Meninists will spew forth a new generation of serial killers, rapists and religious leaders.

And yes, I do mean that in a sexist way. Given the topic, I don't think the post should be hidden for being politically incorrect.
