2 part q... 1) what constitutes an anti-feminist?

Question

1) I don’t view myself as "anti-feminist" but others might, so this is why I ask can someone be indifferent or mildly oppose some feminist views without being seen as anti-feminist?

just as I am an Independent concerning politics... I don’t follow any party completely; I believe this helps to view the issues on a case to case basis and not be overly concerned with “party” views. I’m weary of singular views, there’s a flip side to all arguments... although I might not agree, I think it’s important to try and entertain them.

so let’s all hold hands around the camp fire and sing kumbiah…

2) who is your favorite person to debate on GWS?

Answer 1

1. An anti-feminist is one who opposes attempts by feminists to create equal rights and opportunities for women.  I've read some of your answers and you don't seem like an anti-feminist to me.

2. I don't spend much time here, but it's gotta be April...

"Any one with a brain can look at statistics"... yeah... like like how abortion decreases crime (See Levitt's book, Freakonomics.)

Answer 2

1) I am an independant feminist; I probably do agree with the whole party idea and I don't like radicals.  However I don't disagree with the radicals enough to consider myself anti-feminist.  Anti-feminist to me screams a person regardless of s*x who feels that women should have no rights.

I also don't conform to one specific political party but again I don't consider my self anti-political.

2) I don't have favorites.

Answer 3

**** it, I'm out.

Answer 4

You so dont want me singing...camp fire or not....singing with untamed isn't a good idea!  

1. by "definition" an anti feminist stands for the opposite of everything feminism did, stood for, and means.   Being sexist is a must, dragging knuckles a bonus.  You will see them both men a women, who believe that feminism should have ever started.  That we should reverse it all and send women back home.  "For the betterment of the world"

Officially not all who are give to title, fit it. but then I've been told that I'm not a feminist.  titles/labels are subjective, and very dangerous for this reason.

2. givin up debating here on YA...got busted for "chatting" to much.  use the chat room for debates.  Doodle, AOA, Blah, and amazing even had a few good ones with cassius once apon a time(before he wernt all donkey on us)

where is part 1?

Answer 5

Mildly opposing some views seems to indicate that you agree with other views of feminism. Therefore it doesn't sound like you are anti-feminist at all. I think you can be a critic of something without being completely against it.

I think a real anti-feminist is someone who believes that there should be no feminism in this day and age either because A: They feel it has achieved all it needs to or B: Because they don't think there should have been feminism in the first place.

Answer 6

I think either you buy into the false claims of feminism or you don't. Any one with a brain can look at statistics and see how our country in so many areas went down the tubes when more people bought into the lie of feminism.

And debating is pointless here because a feminism will never admit there are flaws in feminism, even when its obvious... RIO!!

Answer 7

Someone would be an anti-feminist if they were opposed to the most basic principles of feminism. Being opposed to certain people or initiatives is fine.

I like to debate April, just because it's so effortless.

Answer 8

Even though I've had a leadership role in NOW in the past and agree with many of their ideas-I left the organization because over time I disagreed with some of their methods of achieving their goals in my local NOW group-and also with some of the methods the organization as a whole was using. I still support NOW but pick and choose what issues to work on and how I work on them. You can be a staunch feminist and still disagree with many things associated with feminism.

But I also am able to see all of the fantastic opportunities I've had during my life because of the work of not only first wave feminists (suffragists) but because of the sacrifices of second and third wave feminists. I know some of the second wave feminists went overboard-but I understand the frustrations they had been dealing with-it doesn't justify what some of them said or did-but they were an angry minority out of millions of feminists.

I actually like discussing over debating-which I already do with my feminist and non-feminist friends and co-workers-I don't need to do it on GWS. Plus if I mention anyone by name my answer will be reported and deleted-the two times I've mentioned someone's names in GWS-that's what happened-lol.

Answer 9

First off I'm going to answer the second question; it really doesn't matter.  Being a true anti-feminist; knowing that equality exists; naturally and, or forced; I don't care about it one way or the other; the earth is going to spin on its axis whether I do or don't; even after I die.
