My must read of the day is "What ‘Women Against Feminism’ Gets Right," in Time:
Female anti-feminism is nothing new. In the 19th century, plenty of women were hostile to the women’s movement and to women who pursued nontraditional paths. In the 1970s, Marabel Morgan’s regressive manifesto The Total Woman was a top best-seller, and Phyllis Schlafly led opposition to the Equal Rights Amendment. But such anti-feminism was invariably about defending women’s traditional roles. Some of today’s "women against feminism" fit that mold: They feel that feminism demeans stay-at-home mothers, or that being a "true woman" means loving to cook and clean for your man. Many others, however, say they repudiate feminism even though — indeed, because — they support equality and female empowerment:
"I don’t need feminism because I believe in equality, not entitlements and supremacy."
"I don’t need feminism because it reinforces the men as agents/women as victims dichotomy." […]
They’re judging modern feminism by its actions, not by the book. And here, they have a point.
When we have people specifying why anti feminism is wrong by dismissively proclaiming that the entire group doesn't "hate feminism," but simply doesn't understand it, it's important to point out why they don't know the literal definition.
It's because they have decided what it means by the way it presents itself.
Feminism on paper is "the theory of the political, economic, and social equality of the sexes," but many people don't feel that accurately portrays the reality of today's movement and that today’s movement has significantly diverged from that.
This is an insightful piece and more people should read it before they dismiss the anti-feminists as uninformed.
