What does 'anti feminist' mean?

Saw this term on the other thread started by the 17 year old from America.

I always naively thought that if you believe women should have the vote, be able to work & earn their own money, not be afraid of being raped ever.....etc etc and obviously many many other things that could go on forever. That if you believe these things you are a feminist.

I understand that a person may not choose to identify as a feminist but they ARE one if they believe in these things.

So conversely if you are anti feminist I would expect that you believe women should not be able to vote, work etc.

Have been having a read of some of these threads and seems it's not that black and white. Would love to hear views.

Very sensible answer.

Do you want to know what it means or do you want to know what people mean when they say it?

(the same applies to "feminist", many people seem to think that it means more than it does)
