anti feminism

[alias_sqbr]

EDIT: Hmm, so perhaps judging such a dicey topic on a brief skim was unwise. I think I've been reading so much legitimate criticism of feminism for this post that I stopped being sufficiently cynical about anti-feminists motives.

Since greteldragon asked if I knew of any "Why I am not a feminist even though I'm a woman and against sexism" stuff(*) I've been keeping an eye out, and today came accross anti_feminism, which from a brief skim seems like it's participants have their hearts in the right place (ie they don't appear to be a bunch of raving mysogynists, unlike another community I came accross a while ago with a similar name I can't remember)

So, not my sort of thing, but thought some of you might be interested.

"Anti-feminism is probably the most potent and needed social justice effort of our time."

One out of two ain't bad.

"Potent" was probably a bad choice of words. "Passionate" would be more accurate. In the political arena there are often causes that have little passion behind them, like feminism, and used only for cynical political reasons. On men's forums you hear the full range of true oppression and that causes people to be passionate about the issues. It's "needed" in that the oppression is being suppressed and there are true "victims" of this the most powerful interest group in America...feminism.
