mentrification

The process by which fields gradually becoming dominated by men gain in perceived value, to the point where it's often forgotten that they were originally dominated by women (e.g. computers, Star Trek fandom); and by which fields gradually becoming dominated by women lose perceived value, to the point where it's often forgotten that they were originally dominated by men (e.g. nursing, secretarial work).

A play on the word "gentrification."

Nursing has suffered some serious mentrification for people to forget that it used to be mostly men!

gentrification

A buzzword uttered mostly by those who are outraged that improving a neighborhood means people will spend more money to live in it.

- What's happened to all the bums that used to hang around here?

- Gentrification, man. Getting worse by the day.

Gentrification

The act of increasing the quality of a crap neighborhood to livable, sanitary conditions, thereby removing the property value from the toilet and basically polishing a turd. Racists hate it because it typically means more of the evil, oppressive Equinsu Ocha, and criminals hate it because crime rates typically plummet. The parasite class is sometimes resultingly displaced in favor of the working middle-class. An unfortunately occasional by-product of gentrification is an increase in a liberal presence which benefits nobody.

The coffee shop and new park which replaced the two old crack houses are quite an upgrade to the neighborhood (thank goodness for gentrification)!

gentrification

Oppression of the professional victim class by Da Man.

"Poor blacks and black businesses are being pushed out of Harlem in favor of elite whites. Bill Clinton is a perfect symbol of the reality of the white takeover. He is opening the floodgates now for complete gentrification of Harlem." -- Black Panther Party spokesman Malik Zulu Shabazz, April 2001

mentrification

When something once known as something made by or popular with women is suddenly taken over by men and essentially becomes something that women can't be interested in/partake in anymore. Then said thing will be vigorously protected by gatekeepers who will try and keep women out of it and will shun women still in the community. This can work in reverse with women also, which can be called Womanification.

Woman 1: Remember when Star Trek was something you and I would talk about in our living rooms over tea before all of this convention stuff came around?

Woman 2: I remember that quite clearly, now I can't even mention I like the show around other fans. Otherwise they'll bombard me with questions like "Who was the very first captions' mother's name????" rudely and expect me not to answer, and when I do they just insult me and call me a 'fake fan' anyways!

Woman 1: Damn, the Mentrification of Star Trek really hit hard huh?

Gentrification

A term used by those who are intellectually impaired to try and negatively label the positive progress which is renovation of local infrastructure in an urban area while still having access to high end amenities like Wi-Fi, Double-shot Mocha Latte's and of course, social media apps.

"The Gentrification of this neighborhood is just another example of white privilege and Republicans way of trying to push blacks out of neighborhoods."
"Yeahhh...or the building is falling apart and just needs some rennovating..."
