This has been inserted and removed and re-inserted in the lead; it probably ''should'' be covered in the article body, if only in a summary-style section linking to ], but it currently isn't.

This article is atrocious. It’s a perfect example of one of the main criticisms of feminism: it drowns out all other voices. The article reads like a feminist-doctored version spun to make antifeminism seem as horrible as feminists imagine it to be (I suppose understandably given the name and how they tend to react to challenge). As an actual antifeminist the article seems to me so slanted as to be nearly vertical. It should be completely rewritten up to Misplaced Pages’s (somewhat) normal standards of flat, objective explanation.
::Well, we could always move it to the 20th century.

Maybe there should be a separate page about antifeminism as it is actually viewed by antifeminists, possibly connected by a disambiguation page?


In the feminism infobox in this article, in the sub-section "Opposition to feminism", I believe the "Pro-feminism" and "Protofeminism" do not belong there. Those are clearly pro feminist topics and not about opposition to the movement. I would edit it myself, but wanted to check first here if I'm missing something. I also don't know how to edit the infobox! It somehow appears fully empty for me. ] (]) 15:58, 19 December 2024 (UTC)

::Well, in my case there's a bunch of reasons why I don't edit this article. Some of them are:
::* I'm not an active Misplaced Pages editor anymore. I mean: I still contribute, but only occasionally. This however does not prevent me from noticing bias in articles.
::* I'm brazilian, thus my most known antifeminist sources are written in portuguese. Anyway, I a realiable and very reputable source (it's a book that is probably the most important antifeminist one in today's Brazil). But it's written in portuguese and I didn't see much utility in citing it along the article's text of the english Misplaced Pages.
::* If there's one thing that I learned through the years (I joined Misplaced Pages in 2008) is that, at the end of the day, no article is neutral, and the POV (point of view) that prevails in the articles is the one that is prevalent among ''wikipedians''. Neutrality around here is just theoretical, not a practical reality. Thus, because (active) ''wikipedians'' seem to be ] and ], if e.g. I edit the article to make it more "neutral", someone's going to edit it again in order to make it look more "feminist" (and such "feminist" modification will not be supported by any reliable and verifiable source). An example: did not cite any source and it applied a modification in the text that induces the reader to believe that abortion is a civil right (it makes it look as an accepted/indisputable truth that abortion is a right), even though this is highly debateable (e.g. the human being under development in the mother's womb has his/her own human and civil rights, and such individual is indeed not part of the mother's body because his/her DNA is not the same of the mother's). But because I am a minority of thinking here, I decided not to waste my time and energy in this type of "cycle" of edition wars. This, however, does not prevent me from noticing the bias.<font color=#21A9EB>►</font><span class="plainlinks"></span> 15:45, 25 February 2021 (UTC)
