Although I am very much a feminist, I agree wholeheartedly with AJ C. It is very hypocritical for women to have notions about “the perfect man” or “a real man” while staunchly protesting the idea of a typical woman. Before reading this poem, I never thought about the idea of “meninism” and the way men are “supposed” to be.
“Meninism” really opened my eyes to the fact that if women believe they shouldn’t be stereotyped, men shouldn’t be either.
This piece has been published in Teen Ink’s monthly print magazine.
