Not a real word. What people believe is the male counterpart of "feminist."
The actual word is "masculinist."

A person (often a man) who mocks feminism in attempt to seem masculine and powerful. This is often done by making themselves look like the victim.
This kid is totally a meninist. He keeps trying to make it look like women are trying to overpower men when really, all they want is to be equal.

Meninism is a mockery of feminism and proves that we can't request equality without white
men making everything about themselves.
"Oppressed" white guys think that feminism is a threat to their masculinity.
@MeninistTweet if you follow meninism, you don't know what feminists stand for. you are the PROBLEM OF SOCIETY.

"Don't talk to him, he's a meninist."

A complete fucktard who doesn't understand that feminism is working for equal rights, and not for the role of the dominant gender. Meninists claim that the feminist movement and standards set by society are oppressing men as a gender, which at times can have some truth to it, but it in no way entitles them to go out and be women hating assholes. Meninists are often bland boring self entitled fuckboys who think they deserve something simply because of their gender.

This word is a pissed-off straight white boy's version of feminism. Although feminism supports the equal rights and opportunities of both sexes, a meninist thinks that men aren't getting enough attention and privelidge as is. Meninists believe that they deserve a movement for men. There is, however, already a movement for men. It's called feminism. As a feminist I believe that both genders should never fall victim to stereotypes and society's image of what everyone should be. Meninists believe that feminists should be silenced and that men should remain privelidged and still be considered superior. Although if they really believe in equality for both genders, I suggest they look into feminism and stop being whiny pissbabies.
Feminist: women are being, harassed, cat called, raped, killed, beaten, and getting rights stripped from them just because they're women.
Meninist: but what about men?
Feminist: as privileged as men are they also have issues in modern day. They are expected to live as stoic beasts incapable of human emotions or do anything not resembling masculinity.
Meninist: so feminism does include men?
Feminist: feminism includes everyone, including men, women and people of all races, sexualities, and abilities. Whereas meninism only includes straight white cis men.
Meninist (now feminist): maybe I'm a feminist after all...

Much like feminism, a complicated term, due to various uses and meanings depending on who you talk to. At its best, it refers to a male feminist, or as a speciality term for the drive for male equality under the subset of feminism. Usually refers to someone who doesn't understand the purpose and meaning of feminism, thinking it's the same as misogyny, though they usually realise their mistake.
At its worst, it refers to someone who counteracts feminism because they enjoy harassing women and/or have some crazy twisted ideas on what equality is. These dudebros will often claim they fight for men's rights, but when further pressed you'll often discover that it's for a very particular kind of man's rights- whiter than 2 percent milk and straighter than a ruler.

Good example:
"I'm a meninist because I believe that toxic masculinity and homophobia need to be stopped, but I feel they're often dismissed in talks in the media about feminism. I'm also a feminist, just with an added branch."
Usual example:
"I'm a meninist because I believe that feminism is only about the advancement of women, and I'm concerned about the prejudice that I experience as well."
Bad example:
"I'm a meninist because I believe that women are already equal to men, despite all the evidence, or I believe that they're supposed to be inferior to men. I'll claim to want men's rights, but will often be homophobic and racist as hell."
