Anti Feminist Bingo!!

[TheFeministParent]

Elephants had this idea!!

So I'll start

"we're not a homogeneous mass..."
"I don't like to be too narrow..."

"as i said i struggle with the all women are oppressed but many dont know it hypothesis

esp the so called intelligentsia who can see the oppressed masses and jsut need them to listen up and rise up

this insidious notion of a clever few with enlightenment, and masses of women in denial is really distatesful"

SM -- Here is what you're suggesting:
(1) feminists are a clever few, an intelligentsia clique

(2) women are not being oppressed, it's just the clever few riling them up about so-called oppression

(3) oppression is something invented by the feminists for some nefarious purpose of their own

yeah yeah, I c&p'd.

thats a non answer,all hail to C&P skills though

dittany only you know your own social constructs and values.and if you perceive anti feminism as widespread that's your lived experience

i had never encountered term anti feminism til mn never heard in rl

A piece by Cath Elliott about actual antifeminists.

From Wiki:

'Authors Patai and Koertge argue that by labeling these women "anti-feminists", the intention is to silence them and prevent any debate on the state of feminism. It represents "an enormous extension of women's power, allowing any sort of criticism of either women or feminist ideas to fall under the watchful eye of their ideological guardians."
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antifeminism

Some people the term rather liberally and as a term of abuse rather than when it is warranted. This makes them seem to me like 'cry wolf' people.

of course antifeminsit is pejorative term on mn

'there's no harm in making the connection that you probably are one.'

Apart from the fact that it is completely irrational, no harm at all (to anyone who can see through the bullshit).

are ducks anti-femenist too?

frankly you can call me tallulahbelleantifeminist doesnt really matter,nor does it deter me posting,contributing

but the name calling is bluster a false construct.so ignore dem anti feminists becomes the command

do any of you ever wonder why there was recent threads about mn posters not liking the feminist board. or discussion at conference about rebranding feminism

are they all antifeminist too?

no as you arent moderator or editor dittany.what is clear is people make own mind up

Debating specific points isn't anti feminism. Debating the premise of feminism it self is. It's not difficult to get your head around.

'Debating the premise of feminism it self is.'

No, it really isn't. It keeps feminism relevant.

Ha ha! You don't like your actions being reported, but report mine.

Loving the projection.

i think people have capacity for free thought and reflection.on a number of topics.even so called antifeminism-and perhaps to ponder the willingness to apply the label so freely on mn
