- 1996, Patrick Warren, "Stick to bacon, Todd" (letter to the editor), Imprint (University of Waterloo), Volume 19, Number 5, 28 June 1996, page 9:
- As a man whose primary interests include neither beer nor bacon, I strongly object to the suggestion that these are issues which would define "the concepts and ideals of meninism." Furthermore, the idea of "meninism" does not currently exist as a movement because men's issues are in no way underrepresented in mainstream culture.
- 2015, Jay Woofter, "#Meninists Twitter trend reacts to feminism", The Collegian (Kansas State University), Volume 120, Number 82, 29 January 2015, page 3:
- One question to ask, however, is if meninism could be taken seriously, or if it really is just an online joke.
