In reply to the discussion: If I actually thought there were "Anti-Feminists" in this group, I would kick them out. [View all]lumberjack_jeff
(33,224 posts)There is nothing wrong with advocacy, and when that advocacy takes the form of a search for equality, I'm fully supportive.
I'm unclear what you mean by "anti-feminist". Does that mean anti-woman? Anti-equality? Anti-choice? If that's what you mean, then I agree.
However, every law that would be invalidated by the equal rights amendment benefits women. I support the ERA, therefore, I guess I am opposed to those laws. Is that what you mean by "anti-feminist"?
If you mean that everyone at DU is a feminist, that isn't true. Feminists can't universally agree what it means to be a feminist, and I certainly don't agree with many of the definitions thrown about. I wouldn't self-describe as feminist for the same reason I won't self describe as an MRA; I don't want others extrapolating my views based on a one word description that has no agreed definition, particularly when some of the definitions in practical use are so heinous.
Shouldn't be all that controversial, really. Many of the definitions of feminism hold that men can't be one. I guess I'll be that kind of feminist.
