67-514: The book suggests rules that a woman should follow in order to attract and marry the man of her dreams; these rules include that a woman should be "easy to be with but hard to get".

201-445: A countermovement. University of Illinois at Chicago sociology professor Danielle Giffort argues that the stigma against feminism created by antifeminists has resulted in organizations that practice "implicit feminism", which she defines as the "strategy practiced by feminist activists within organizations that are operating in an anti- and post-feminist environment in which they conceal feminist identities and ideas while emphasizing

She had lived with multiple sclerosis for 15 years. The following year, Eugene Genovese published a tribute to his wife, Miss Betsey: A Memoir of Marriage . Fox-Genovese's academic interests changed from French history to

402-530: A hashtag, that was popular on Twitter in South Korea "#iamafeminist" which normalized the term "feminism", in a society where it was once unacceptable. This hashtag facilitated feminist activism and played a role against misogyny, where identification as a feminist is often stigmatized. The expression of feminist identity was utilized through this hashtag, and people started to discuss their personal experiences that were related to gender inequality. The hashtag

469-435: A matter of faith that ' God is dead '." In 1995, however, Fox-Genovese publicly converted to Roman Catholicism , due in part to her deep unease about " moral relativism ", since she found "a world in which each followed his or her moral compass" neither rational nor viable. She said she was also reacting to the pride and self-centeredness that she had witnessed in secular academia . Some observers regarded her reputation as

536-440: A means of "'saving' masculinity from pollution and invasion". He argues that antifeminists consider the "traditional gender division of labor as natural and inevitable, perhaps also divinely sanctioned."

After completing her Ph.D., Fox first taught at Binghamton University and

670-419: A report from anti-extremism charity HOPE not Hate , half of young men from UK believe that feminism has "gone too far and makes it harder for men to succeed". Moreover, other antifeminists oppose women's entry into the workforce , political office , or the voting process, as well as the lessening of male authority in families.

Their ideology consists of antifeminist ideologies, according to which a hierarchy , based on appearance determines access to sexual relationships and recognition in society, as well as

871-769: A significant public profile of almost 300,000 Facebook followers, missed out on a seat in parliament in Serbia's 2022 election. The Leviathan party portrays migrants as criminals, and themselves as the defenders of Serbian women. The group has been praised by some in Serbia for defending 'traditional family values' and hierarchical gender roles, while opposing the empowerment of women and feminist ideologies. Social improvements by women have sparked an anti-feminist backlash, in which disgruntled young men have become vocal critics of feminism and feminist women who speak out in public. Yoon Suk-yeol narrowly won South Korea's 2022 presidential election . During his run for presidency, he called for

938-530: A variety of minorities in the nation's capital, such as females, colored males, and homosexual males. The popularity of the book led the Civil Service Commission to create a "publicity campaign to improve the image of federal employees" in hopes to save their federal employees from losing their jobs. This ploy failed once the journalists linked feminism to communism in their novel, and ultimately reinforced antifeminism by implying that defending

1005-477: A woman's participation in the political realm would hinder her participation in social and civic duties. If they won the right to vote, women would have to align with a particular party, which would destroy their ability to be politically neutral. Antisuffragists feared this would hinder their influence with legislative authorities. In 1951, two journalists published Washington Confidential. The novel claimed that Communist leaders used their men and women to recruit

1072-497: Is another antifeminist, conservative, women-oriented group. It's younger and less established than the CWA, though the two organizations are often discussed in relation to each other. It was founded to take on the "old feminist establishment". Both of these organizations pride themselves on rallying women who do not identify with feminist rhetoric together. These organizations frame themselves as being by women, for women, in order to fight

1139-594: Is increasingly widespread via online forums , especially in the US. After the term came up the first time by a woman in the 1990's to define feelings of social awkwardness, in began that the term was used in other contexts. Lately, the term incel is composed of the words "involuntarily" and "celibate" (sexual abstinence) and it is mostly young men in their mid-twenties, identifying with the incel movement, whose overall themes consist of failure and frustration what for they accuse woman and society's structure changes of experiencing

1206-951: Is often linked to the men's rights movement , a social movement concerned with discrimination against men . Canadian sociologists Melissa Blais and Francis Dupuis-Déri write that antifeminist thought has primarily taken the form of masculinism , in which "men are in crisis because of the feminization of society". The term antifeminist is also used to describe public female figures, some of whom, such as Naomi Wolf , Camille Paglia , and Katie Roiphe , define themselves as feminists, based on their opposition to some or all elements of feminist movements. Other feminists label writers such as Roiphe, Christina Hoff Sommers , Jean Bethke Elshtain , and Elizabeth Fox-Genovese as antifeminist because of their positions regarding oppression and lines of thought within feminism. The meaning of antifeminism has varied across time and cultures, and antifeminism attracts both men and women. Some women, like those in

1273-478: Is often promoted by activists of strong religious faith. The anti-abortion movement protests in the form of educational outreach, political mobilisation, street protests (largely at abortion clinics), and is often aimed at convincing pregnant women to carry their pregnancies to term. Abortion remains one of the most controversial topics in the United States. Roe v. Wade was decided in 1973, and abortion

1340-455: Is persistent discrimination of gender in workplaces in South Korea. The reasons for this is due to the lack of legal and inefficient enforcement of the gender-based policies. The punishment for gender-based crimes is weak. The culture of South Korea typically favors male dominance which influences the orginazinational structure of workplaces and boosts societal pressures for women. Driven by public anger and media coverage, South Korea has seen

1407-450: Is rooted in social stigmas against feminism and is thus a purely reactionary movement. Himmelstein identifies two prevailing theories that seek to explain the origins of antifeminism: the first theory, proposed by Himmelstein, is that conservative opposition in the abortion and Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) debates has created a climate of hostility toward the entire feminist movement. The second theory Himmelstein identifies states that

Yoon also said that he doesn't think systemic structural discrimination based on gender exists in South Korea. However, Korean women are near the bottom of the developed world according to several economic and social indicators. Despite decades of anti-discriminatory gender policies and better education for women, there

At the Institute, she served as director and began the first doctoral program in Women's Studies in the US. She also taught history as the Eleonore Raoul Professor of the Humanities . In 1993, L. Virginia Gould, one of her former graduate students, named Fox-Genovese and Emory University as co-defendants in

1675-567: The Women's National Anti-Suffrage League , campaigned against women's suffrage. Men's studies scholar Michael Kimmel defines antifeminism as "the opposition to women's equality". He says that antifeminists oppose "women's entry into the public sphere, the re-organization of the private sphere, women's control of their bodies, and women's rights generally." Kimmel further writes that antifeminist argumentation relies on "religious and cultural norms" while proponents of antifeminism advance their cause as

1742-429: The abortion-rights movement . In the early 21st century, some antifeminists see their ideology as a response to misandry , holding feminism responsible for several social problems, including lower college entrance rates of young men , gender differences in suicide and a perceived decline in masculinity . 21st century antifeminism has sometimes been an element of violent, far-right extremist acts. Antifeminism

1809-573: The feminist movement has achieved its aims and now seeks higher status for women than for men via special rights and exemptions, such as female-only scholarships, affirmative action, and gender quotas. Antifeminism might be motivated by the belief that feminist theories of patriarchy and disadvantages suffered by women in society are incorrect or exaggerated; that feminism as a movement encourages misandry and results in harm or oppression of men; or driven by general opposition towards women's rights . Furthermore, antifeminists view feminism as

1876-655: The "white, Christian, heterosexual, patriarchal family" was the only way to oppose communism. The Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) is a perennially proposed amendment to the United States Constitution that would grant equal rights and opportunities to every citizen of the United States, regardless of their sex. In 1950 and 1953, ERA was passed by the Senate with a provision known as "the Hayden rider", making it unacceptable to ERA supporters. The Hayden rider

1943-451: The 2014 social media trend #WomenAgainstFeminism . These antifeminists contend that feminism demonizes men ( misandry ) and that women are not oppressed in 21st century Western countries. A meta-analysis in 2023 published in the journal Psychology of Women Quarterly investigated the stereotype of feminists' attitudes to men and concluded that feminist views of men were no different to that of non-feminists or men towards men and titled

2010-529: The ERA tended to fit characteristics consistent with the Religious Right. In 1983, Val Burris said that high-income men opposed the amendment, because they would gain the least with it being passed; that those men had the most to lose, since the ratification of the ERA would mean more competition for their jobs and possibly a lowered self-esteem. Because of the support of antifeminism from conservatives and

2077-515: The Rules . In The Rules II: More Rules to Live and Love By , published in 1997, Fein and Schneider proclaim, "If he doesn't call, he's not that interested. Period!" (p. 60). In 2001 the follow-up book The Rules for Marriage: Time-Tested Secrets for Making Your Marriage Work was released in the midst of Fein's legal separation from her husband to whom she had been married for sixteen years. Fein commented on her divorce by saying that she had "married

2144-406: The antisuffragists were merely working under the influence of male forces. Later historians tended to dismiss antisuffragists as subscribing to the model of domestic idealism, that a woman's place is in the home. This undermines and belittles the true power and numbers behind the antisuffrage movement, which was primarily led by women themselves. Arguments employed by antisuffragists at the turn of

2211-479: The belief in " hypergamy ", that woman use their sexuality for social advancement, which would make them sexually selective and ultimately leads to the third ideology of the rejection of feminism . According to the German Federal Agency for Civic Education, their hierarchy is composed by three classes of men, the attractive men at the top, as "chads" or "alphas", followed by the so called "normies",

2278-485: The century had less to do with a woman's place in the home as much as it had to do with a woman's proper place in the public realm. Leaders of the movement often encouraged other women to leave the home and participate in society. What they opposed was women participating in the political sphere. There were two reasons antisuffragists opposed women participating in the political realm. Some argued that women were already overburdened. The majority of them, however, argued that

2345-449: The conservative women's movement than anyone... [Her] voice came from inside the academy and updated the ideas of the conservative women's movement. She was one of their most influential intellectual forces." Fox-Genovese reportedly had no patience with the cultural feminist trend of viewing women and men as possessing completely different values, and she criticized the idea that women's natural instincts and experience of oppression gave them

2412-555: The constant "conservative reactions to liberal social politics", such as the New Deal attacks, the attack on the ERA has been called a "right-wing backlash". In a 2012 study, their methods include actions such as "insults proffered in emails or on the telephone, systematic denigration of feminism in the media, Internet disclosure of confidential information (e.g. addresses) on resources for battered women" and more. Anti abortion rhetoric largely has religious underpinnings, influence, and

2479-704: The current social order. In the 19th century, one of the major focal points of antifeminism was opposition to women's suffrage , which began as a grassroots movement in 1848 and spanned for 72 years. Opponents of women's entry into institutions of higher learning argued that education was too great a physical burden on women. In Sex in Education: or, a Fair Chance for the Girls (1873), Harvard professor Edward Clarke predicted that if women went to college, their brains would grow bigger and heavier, and their wombs would atrophy. Other antifeminists opposed women's entry into

This book received the following awards: Fox-Genovese also wrote scholarly and popular works on feminism. Through her writings, she alienated many feminists but attracted many women who may have considered themselves conservative feminists . Princeton University history professor Sean Wilentz said, "She probably did more for

2613-558: The family, or is contrary to religious morals. For example, Paul Gottfried maintains that the change of women's roles "has been a social disaster that continues to take its toll on the family" and contributed to a "descent by increasingly disconnected individuals into social chaos". The "women's movement" began in 1848, most famously articulated by Elizabeth Cady Stanton demanding voting rights, joined by Lucy Stone , Susan B. Anthony and others who also pushed for other rights such as education, job freedom, marital and property rights, and

2680-549: The female antifeminists who lead the movement are largely married, low education, and low personal income women who embody the "insecure housewife scenario" and seek to perpetuate their own situation in which women depend on men for fiscal support. However, numerous studies have failed to correlate the aforementioned demographic factors with support for antifeminism, and only religiosity correlates positively with antifeminist alignment. Authors Janet Saltzman Chafetz and Anthony Gary Dworkin, writing for Gender and Society , argue that

2747-688: The history of women in the United States before the American Civil War . Virginia Shadron, assistant dean at Emory, later said that Fox-Genovese's Within the Plantation Household (1988) cemented her reputation as a scholar of women in the Old South .

Mechal Sobel of The New York Times wrote, "Elizabeth Fox-Genovese undertakes

2814-434: The idea that feminism is the only women-oriented ideology. These organizations chastise feminists for presuming to universally speak for all women. The IWF claims to be "the voice of reasonable women with important ideas who embrace common sense over divisive ideology". Another antifeminist merger, which is not yet an acknowledged organization but became a large movement, is the " incel " movement, an internet-culture, which

2881-590: The ideal family as having "one man and one woman, united in wedlock, together with their children". This movement built the foundation for many pro-family arguments in contemporary antifeminism. Women's suffrage was achieved in the US in 1920, and early 20th-century antifeminism was primarily focused on fighting this. Suffragists scoffed at antisuffragists. Anna Howard Shaw , president of the National American Woman Suffrage Association (NAWSA) from 1904 to 1915, presumed that

Elizabeth Fox-Genovese Elizabeth Ann Fox-Genovese ( née Fox ; May 28, 1941 – January 2, 2007) was an American historian best known for her works on women and society in the Antebellum South .

The pro-family movement appeared in the late 19th century, by about 1870. This movement was intended to halt the rising divorce rate and reinforce traditional family values. The National League for the Protection of the Family, formerly known as the Divorce Reform League, took over

3082-456: The more socially acceptable angles of their efforts". Due to the stigma against feminism, some activists, such as those involved with Girls Rock , may take the principles of feminism as a foundation of thought and teach girls and women independence and self-reliance without explicitly labeling it with the stigmatized brand of feminism. Thus, most women continue to practice feminism in terms of seeking equality and independence for women, yet avoid

3149-553: The movement in 1881. Samuel Dike was one of the founders of the League, and was considered an early expert on divorce. Through his efforts, the League garnered attention from pro-family advocates. It underwent a shift from fighting against divorce to promoting marriage and traditional family. Speaking on behalf of the League in an 1887 address to the Evangelical Alliance Conference, Samuel Dike described

3216-425: The normal men and finally the incels as the loser of the system. With their allegations, they claim to have a fundamental right to sex, which they are denied. In addition to the accusations towards women, their beliefs are anti-immigrant , as their hatred is also directed against migrants, who would take away their sexual partners. According to Amherst College sociology professor Jerome L. Himmelstein, antifeminism

3283-410: The only antifeminists, men experienced what some have called a "crisis of masculinity" in response to traditional gender roles being challenged. Men's responses to increased feminism varied. Some men subscribed to feminist ideals, and others became decidedly antifeminist. Antifeminist men cited religious models and natural law to emphasize women's need to return to the private sphere, in order to preserve

3350-414: The organizations most likely to formally organize against feminism are religious. This is because women's movements may demand access to male-dominated positions within the religious sector, like the clergy, and women's movements threaten male-oriented values of some religions. The more successful a feminist movement is in challenging the authority of male-dominated groups, the more these groups will organize

3417-848: The phenomenon the misandry myth – "We term the focal stereotype the misandry myth in light of the evidence that it is false and widespread, and discuss its implications for the movement." Many scholars consider the men's rights movement a backlash or countermovement to feminism. The men's rights movement generally incorporates points of view that reject feminist and profeminist ideas. Men's rights activists say feminism has radicalized its objective and harmed men. Men's rights activists believe that men are victims of feminism and " feminizing " influences in society, and that entities such as public institutions now discriminate against men. The website Jezebel has also reported on an increasing number of women and female celebrities rejecting feminism and instead subscribing to humanism . In response to

3484-472: The primary dividing line between feminists and antifeminists is cultural, rather than stemming from differences in economic and social status. There are similarities between income between activists on both sides of the ERA debate. The most indicative factors when predicting ERA position, especially among women, were race, marital status, age, and education. ERA opposition was much higher among white, married, older, and less educated citizens. Women who opposed

Her argument was that after having written a best seller and raising two children, she and her husband discovered they were two different people from the young couple that fell in love. Fein married for the second time in 2008; she had followed The Rules to attract her second husband, with the exception that they dated for three years rather than two (as “The Rules II” advises) before becoming engaged. These are

3618-427: The right to choose when or whether to become a mother. By the end of the century, a cultural counter movement had begun. Janet Chafetz identified in a study 32 first-wave antifeminist movements, including those in the 19th century and early 20th century movements. These countermovements were in response to some women's growing demands, which were perceived as threatening to the standard way of life. Though men were not

3685-502: The rise of the Christian right in the late 1970s. Antifeminist internet communities and hashtags include men's rights activists , incels ("involuntary celibates"), pickup artists , " meninism ", " Red Pill ", #YourSlipisShowing, # gamergate , and Men Going Their Own Way (MGTOW). These communities overlap with various white supremacist , authoritarian , and populist movements. BBC and Time , among others, have covered

3752-432: The rules as named in the original book. Antifeminism Antifeminism , also spelled anti-feminism , is opposition to feminism .

The book was followed by The Rules II , The Rules for Marriage , The Rules for Online Dating , and All

3953-719: The thus-dubbed " New Right ", she was able to leverage a wider range of technological, organizational and political resources, successfully targeting pro-feminist candidates for defeat. In India, the Save Indian Family Foundation is an antifeminist organization opposed to a number of laws that they claim to have been used against men. The Concerned Women of America (CWA) are also an antifeminist organization. Like other conservative women's groups, they oppose abortion and same-sex marriage and make appeals for maternalism and biological differences between women and men. The Independent Women's Forum (IWF)

4020-678: The word in the poll and removed it from the results. In March 2019, the Verein Deutsche Sprache  [ de ] ("German Language Association"), an advocacy group for German language purism, organized a petition proclaiming that billions of Euros are being wasted in Germany on "gender gaga" (gender-neutral language and gender studies). This is money the organization believes can be better used to fund hospitals, natural science faculties and virus research institutes. In April 2022, far-right political party Leviathan , with

4087-618: Was a clash between upper-class liberal voters and the older, more conservative lower-class rural voters, who often serve as the center for right-wing movements. This theory identifies particular social classes as more inherently friendly to antifeminism. Another theory holds that women who feel vulnerable and dependent upon men, are likely to oppose anything that threatens that tenuous stability. Under this view, while educated, independent career women may support feminism, housewives who lack such resources are more drawn to antifeminism. Himmelstein says both views are at least partially wrong, arguing that

Supporters of an unaltered ERA rejected the Hayden rider, believing an ERA containing the rider did not provide for equality. In 1986, Jerome Himmelstein identified two main theories about the appeal of antifeminism and its role in opposition to the ERA. One theory is that it

A new section to the ERA was added, stating: "The provisions of this article shall not be construed to impair any rights, benefits, or exemptions now or hereafter conferred by law upon persons of the female sex." That is, women could keep their existing and future special protections that men did not have. By 1972, the amendment was supported by both major parties and

Psychology lecturer and therapist Meg-John Barker claims that the emergence of seduction communities happened "almost as a direct response to this hard-to-get femininity". Others noted that Fein was an accountant and Schneider a freelance journalist without professional qualification in

4422-639: Was used for a variety of issues, where not only feminists and activists, but also ordinary individuals shared their hardships on housework, equal pay, sexual harassment, etc. Founded in the U.S. by Phyllis Schlafly in 1972, Stop ERA, now known as " Eagle Forum ", lobbied successfully to block the passage of the Equal Rights Amendment in the U.S. It was also Schlafly who forged links between Stop ERA and other conservative organizations, as well as single-issue groups against abortion, pornography, gun control, and unions. By integrating Stop ERA with

Antiabortion views helped further several right-wing movements, including explicit antifeminism, and helped right-wing politicians rise to power. Antiabortion writings and conservative commentary in the late 20th century criticized the feminist movement's embrace of the right to abortion as selfish and self-centered, practicing it only out of convenience. Some current antifeminist practices can be traced back to
