What drives a young woman to be an Anti-Feminist?

Question

WPFS_r6 · Accepted Answer

I'm somewhat alike a "anti-feminist" because of:
-I think the whole thing is stupid. Women are pretty much equal to men in "our countries", you're wasting your time demanding "equality" here, but not being in other countries which needs it.
-It's too extreme and uncomfortable, unnecessary and stupid.
-What difference does it make? If I were a feminist, what impact would I have on people and surroundings? Probably very little. I'd just sit online and complain about men and wage gapes, no? I'd probably have no real solid arguments either.
-Feminists demand some kind of respect for being women per se. I believe respect should be earned, man or woman. Not given away for free for just being a certain thing.
-Feminism is something that often "takes possession" of the person. If they got interested in it, they will more or less devote all or much of their time to it. This might be good in certain interests, but certainly not here.
-They're disrespectful towards men and non-feminists.
-They're ignorant and not willing to listen to other opinions.

... Among others. Excuse the bad English.

My ""anti-feminism"" is nothing about "impressing men" or shit like that. It's my personal view and opinion.
Women in modern countries (?) have it good, and should be happy and thankful for it.

Pushing out a bowling ball = DIVINE SUPERIORITY AT EVERYTHING.

Seriously, all feminism did was give women horrendous egos. Some not all.

Men really just need to stand up to us.

We'll submit, its our nature.

"Bad boys" figure out how to run girls using their own primal manipulations.

Hence why, women obsess over having sexy figures and looks.

All men have to do, is blow off women who dont fit their desired standards, and pursue ones that do, and suddenly the wild feministic hipster icon will be obselete to the sweet pure image or whatever.

Men glorify the sexually open, wild, feminist type girls, like they did the pure virgin to be housewife image.

The world is carried by men ultimately, because we naturally submit in natures order. Men just changed is all.

But once they change again, we will follow.

The "alphas" and "bad boys," know this well.

Once they get tired of this little femi macys parade, theyll influence us to be as they want lol

The rampant hatred, animosity, and authoritarianism of feminist probably. Look at the women's comment section, their is nothing but vile hatred. Not an attempt to understand or educate, just animosity and disgust and an implicit demand for compliance and obedience to their doctrine. So my guess is that would be the reason why they would be anti feminist (that's usually what starts it, knowledge is what solidifies the stance (as feminist arguments are not backed by any real world data of any kind).

Edanurus · Accepted Answer

9% of women call themselves feminist yet feminists want to talk for 100% of women.

Then look at how condescending people who are feminists talk to people who don't call themselves such. That sort of vitriol turns people that would be sympathetic into enemies.

BCRanger10 · Answer

I think the main reason is that they are starting to see that the modern idea of feminism is a self-contradicting ideological circus. For one thing, there's no unifying authority or philosophy. One "feminist" says it's about independence. Another says it's about equality. And yet another says it's about man-hating and women's superiority. Each of them claims to be the true feminist. Some support the psychological fantasy that a woman can become a man and vice versa, others soundly reject it. No one wins.

Second, from what I've seen, many feminists seem to think that being a woman automatically means being a feminist. They claim ownership of women while at the same time claiming to fight for the rights and freedom of every woman everywhere. If a woman says "I'm not a feminist", she gets attacked. Ask Kaley Cuoco about that one. Either that, or they are retorted that they "don't know what true feminism is". It's almost as if they're saying that if you're not a feminist, you're not a woman. For more on this, see the previous paragraph.

Third, they're probably embarrassed by all the goofy stuff they see at the Women's Marches and all.

Fourth, they're tired of the "man's world" narrative. They want men to be men. They see that men are naturally better suited for certain professions than women are and vice versa. When they see women being encouraged into positions for which a man might naturally be a better fit, they actually seeing men being glorified more than women. To tie in with my first paragraph as well, they see it as a blurring of the line between men and women and therefore an undermining of all that feminism is presumed go be, regardless of which definition they go with.

I've said it many times before, but I'll say it again. Feminism is ultimately a solution that's looking for a problem.

alligatorblues · Answer

Feminism stirs up contrived injustice, and proposes an even more contrived remedy. The result is to aggravate the problems it proposes to solve, to enslave women to single motherhood, without love or support, and victimization by complete losers who prey on female desperation. They take whatever they can get, mostly money and sex, but also the woman's dignity, self respect, trust in others, and feminine identity and purpose.

But, if we don't have feminism, which can be dealt with, we might get something even worse! But, no, feminism serves no good purpose. Woman's rights were established by the Catholic Church. Every supposed victory of feminism was a loss in disguise, because the second condition was worse than the first!

Now we're inching up to mandatory registration for the draft applying to all women! And that's better? Devoting one''s life to a career, and dying in isolation, knowing your genetic code has been weeded out of the human gene pool! When you pass on, you will be wiped from history, as if you never existed.

So, feminism is a genetic cleansing mechanism to weed out the DNA of women who won';t reproduce. Do we need it? I think all women would do better without it.

AGIS88 · Answer

Well, the video is gone, but I find it funny that the "feminist" in the thumbnail was wearing a shirt that has a depiction of Che Guevara (a MALE mass murderer, homophobic and renown racist). Anyways, third wave feminism isn't needed in pretty much any 1st world nation. The wage gap has been debunked 1000000000x, women suffrage is over, and women enjoy all the same right as their male counterparts. Feminism has become nothing more than a cultish group of narcissistic sexists. Women who want the title of being oppressed, to up their selves in the victimhood Olympics. To look to the world and say "Woe is me, for I am a woman and oppressed! Please pay attention too me!". When that doesn't work, they resort to hostility, rudeness, and erratic nonsensical public displays (painting with menstrual blood, shaving their heads etc). This all serves the same purpose. Garnering attention. All the while this is going on, they are trapped in an echo chamber of like minded, misguided women, thus strengthening their resolve. Feminism today isn't about equality, it's about pressuring women into being "victims", so they can use their oppression card to find themselves on a higher platform than men... not an equal one. It's about aggression, sexism, narcissism, and hatred. There is no "patriarchy", no one is out to get you, sexist men exist, but there isn't a systematic dynamic to it, just assholes. Just like women. So any woman reading this awfully written rant of mine, just hear this. Men aren't out to get you en masse. If you want something in life, achieve it without the use of a victim card. Thats true strength.

So in short, what would make a young woman be anti-Feminist? Well, usually common sense.

dark-Xer11 · Answer

I believe that extremist within the movement (radfems) have dragged the reputation of feminism thought the mud. There may be some feminist who still truly are trying to promote equality. But too many women just use feminism as a means to express anger and bitterness against men. A lot of radfems promote ideas that are down right bigoted. I'm a black guy who doesn't tolerate being hated because of my race, but I don't tolerate being hated because of my gender ether. being hated by feminist really isn't that different from being hated by white supremacist. I mean hate is hate. Some feminist clam that its ok for people to hate others who have more privilege then themselves. But that doesn't make any since, the act of perpetuating hated is within its self immoral. A real social justice advocate would have the common sense to know that hate only begets hate. That's why MLK fought social injustice by promoting piece and harmony, not hated and division. Most radfems and sjws don't really care about social justice at all, and shouldn't be considered liberals because they don't care about liberalism. I wouldn't be surprised to find out that a lot of them secretly wants Trump to when 2020, because a another Trump victory would play in to their patriarchy narrative. I am a proud American democrat, but I do not deny that toxic feminist and sjws have reeked havoc within the party, and they are more responsible for the rise of Trump then the right. That's why I believe young women (including young women on the left) are becoming anti-feminist

11110000bbbb · Answer

It's not being "Anti-Feminist".
It's more like "Anti-Modern-Feminism"
Average Feminists are not bad.
If you are using that word that is.
I don't believe the word should even Exist.
You should be Upfront with it and want equality, not feminism.

Because supporting feminism in itself is pushing the issue in our minds that let's give women more opportunities, after a while this really does get out of hand.

Keeping men involved by saying equality instead of feminism is already much better.

lexit60 · Answer

If you are a woman and you’re not a feminist then you’re literally against being treated equally? Makes no sense. The cause of non-feminist women is either being uneducated on what feminism truly is, or wanting to suck up to men. Why would you be against something that betters the treatment and opportunities for your gender? That’s like trees being against the whole “save the planet” movement.

NoEstrogen · Answer

Common sense. Last year there was a huge gathering of women on the mall in Washington DC. Those pink pussy hats as far as the eye could see. I went to ask women what it is they want. What is it that's not afforded to women based on their gender in this country? I was never offered an answer that made any sense. I did hear that.77 / 1.00 argument which was misleading when Mary Tyler More said it to Lou Grant in the 1960s. Maybe you could enlighten me, what the fuck do you man hating can't find enough to be pissed off about people want? Gloria Steinum and the Feminists are like the female version of Al Bundy and No MAM. I am woman hear me roar by Hellen Ready may have been the best thing to come out of that mess.

A_Bell · Answer

It's the vile hatred and anger. It is long past bettering women, it's about either hating men or helping crooks like Hillary get elected or pretending Brie Larson is a good actress because she hates men.

I was a Democrat growing up because I thought they stood for equality, freedom of speech and fairness. Now it just seems like they want to settle petty grudges. Feminism is a big part of that.

tanya110290232 · Answer

For me both are feminism and anti-feminism are wrong. Every situation needs common sense, lack of selfishness and compromise.
I don't like feminism because I've seen extremely strong manipulative mothers who grow up weak sons.
I don't like anti-feminism because usually such women would like to stay at home while father is stress to lose his job, because he must provide to whole family. And risk if father die/sick also there.
I know I get downvotes for my opinion, but really I don't care

Anonymous · Answer

I've never met a young woman who is an anti-feminist in real life, only and old woman who is indoctrinated by patriarchal religion.
You can find them on social networks, but those are only fake female profiles who claim to be "young female anti-feminists", in reality, those are just pathetic males (incels, mgtow and other mysoginists).

heatherelaine93 · Answer

I've never experienced feeling in equal to men. There's no gender pay gap I get paid exactly the same as my boyfriend and were in the same job. I'm only bothered about the fact I feel forced to work because in todays feminist age its not expected of me to be a stay at home mum and men don't settle down.

HollyF · Answer

Not wanting to identify with a movement that has (in recent times at least) been the cause of more problems than the solution.

roxy_362 · Answer

Possibly being anti-anything... If you look closely, any idea/philosophy/current has weaknesses, real-life cases it cannot properly address. A critical mind would not submit to any one label, because as a name in human language, it is bound to remain constant, as well as the images it might conjure in minds... Every human experience is different, and should be evaluated within its own constraints.

MlleCake · Answer

I usually find it's misinformation about what feminism is to begin with.

eschneider · Answer

I think if a woman in honest and actually puts some thought into it, it's obvious.

I would add that women are privileged today (at least in the US).

Women can vote, but don't have to fight wars.
Women can opt out of parenting, abort or abandon the child, men can't.
Women are protected, they have programs, people care, nobody cares about men, in fact feminist fight/protest men's issues. Just look at our work deaths or suicides.
Family courts protect women and abuse men.

Women need to start thinking long term, if the word sucks for men then it sucks for your future sons too.

UnicornLobotomy · Answer

Not being able to see or get to know dad when she was younger simply because mom lied and didn't want them to anymore because she was mad at him one day and found another man shortly after, but stayed mad at her daughter's father. The daughter realizes what she missed out on, and blames her neglectful and possibly abusive mother for all of her problems and projects this onto feminists. There, that's one way.

DanaeAdam5 · Answer

I'm not 'ant-feminist'

The word feminist means that you want every gender to have equal rights.

I'm anti feminazi tho.

I think that makes girls anti feminist is the fact that so many feminazis call themselves 'feminists' just to have an excuse to hate men.
🤷‍♀️

ADFSDF1996 · Answer

Women become anti feminist when they realize feminism is a sham that doesn’t actually practice what it preaches. Besides , most people (men and women) don’t identify as feminists. It’s a only a minority who identify as feminists.

Mexicoman101 · Answer

Usually it just takes seeing how poorly some feminists like ‘Big Red’ treat men. Although its not always so emotional, I have to believe sometimes they’re just egalitarians who don’t like the laser focus on feminism as some kind of womens’ lobby in particular. But then again there are also traditionalist women who embrace gender roles and view feminism as a threat to something they’re used to or want.

Anonymous · Answer

Not obviously a woman, but I’ve noticed from my female friends, family members, and miscellaneous people I’ve witnessed. I can at least make a strong guess. The last election, there wasn’t as big of a turnout for the female candidate as was hoped for. When I asked one of my female friends questions like “does Hillary inspire you as a woman?” They said “hell no!” When I asked my friends who have sons why they didn’t vote for Hillary they said “I was afraid of what she would have done as far as laws Would get passed that may have ended up hurting my son, and the world he would grow up in.” And I’m sure they heard “oh how dare you waste your vote and betray your gender!” If I had children I wouldn’t allow for them to ever be exposed to trans story hour, or told stupid Marxist socialist ideologies in school.

Oculops · Answer

I think the philosophies that underly feminism are fundamentally flawed. Guys are both stronger and faster. Girls can only overcome that through difficult processes. The social norms are really ruining social identity, in my opinion.

Anonymous · Answer

Probably the sheer absurdity of modern the feminist movement.

It's no longer a message of equality but an anti male/patriarchy/blah blah

I think most reasonable people see a negative message rather than a positive one & use some critical thinking.

Radical feminist pushing for insane things like abortion day before birth doesn't help the cause.

Anonymous · Answer

Men and women can never be 100% equal because we are not the same. There will always be more men working, because women have babies. There will always be better male athletes, testosterone = higher muscle mass.

That's not to put women down though, I think that my mental capacity is equal to a man's. I just think that some of the gender roles we have make sense.

prasanp · Answer

let put it simple word, young women are more independent and have lot of right that old women were deprived of and old women never get out of their insecurities even though they got what there right is. And people looking down on other are the worst for whatever reason there is. Some women are using a word feminism for their own interest and convenience in expense of other and may be some young women don't it. I at least thing so.

What drives a young woman to be an Anti-Feminist?

shawnmendrek · Answer

Oh wow what a topic. Look, there are cons and pros with feminism. I think the first wave was ok. They take it to extremes these days. All in all, men are wimpy. I don't know if it is what they pump into the water or food. The point is, if you cannot stand up to your woman, you will never be able to conquer the world. So she deems this as weak. Though there are exceptions to most things in life given the right context.

Sanity. Feminism is to gender what the KKK is to race. Seriously, any female who calls herself a "feminist" either doesn't understand the political roots of feminism (Marxist-Leninism) or they really believe the garbage they are being fed.

MilkiiStrawberriis · Answer

Generalizations, trying to make women seem weak and oppressed (when they have the same rights), #YesAllWomen (bs), degrading and harassing MRA's, and just petty things used for their movement to continue.
When they have something serious happen then they'd either use that against you or drag other women down for it. Of course, I've met plenty of great feminists who are rational and calm, I'm only speaking on the minority that I've seen.
