== This article should be titled “antifeminism according to feminists” == |
|

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

{{outdent}} I also noticed that this article is indeed about ''antifeminism as feminists see it''.

Karen Straughan and Professor Janice Fiamengo are the, if not two of the, top antifeminist scholars, probably in the world if I had to guess. Karen is frankly better: much more theoretical, deeper analysis, more anthropological, natural history perspective, etc. Janice is also very, very good, very precise, specific, well documented antifeminism with copious examples. ] (]) 16:15, 25 February 2021 (UTC) |

I would be very happy to go looking for sound bites from them or any other serious antifeminists if I thought those might be worked into the article for the sake of balancing it out a bit.

: Well, the challenge is in establishing that inclusion is DUE. The existence of interviews or YouTube or Podcast links does not by itself create grounds for inclusion. But if there is news coverage (or better yet, academic analysis) of the views of Honey Badgers, et al., then their perspectives can absolutely be included here. It looks as though Fiamengo has a book publication that might be relevant, so if that received some reviews it would be easy to justify inclusion of relevant material here. ] (]) 16:25, 25 February 2021 (UTC) |

Also thank you Sampayu. Misplaced Pages has become deeply politicized in this domain. The feminism stuff is pretty bad too, pretty much straight propaganda, very far from third party (every single line reads exactly like it IS feminism not a description OF feminism: all premises taken for gospel, this-is-just-how-reality-works kinda vibe, as if Mormons got to write their own article unopposed — I look at feminism as a phenomenon, not as Truth: the normal Misplaced Pages standard for belief systems). |
|
|
|
|
|
And the antifeminism article is just the same problem squared: feminism is True, feminist precepts are a given, seeing the world as being as we say it is is a basic precondition of sanity, and here our obligatory webpage describing some nutball phenomenon called “antifeminism.” |
|
|
|
|
|
I’ve got to give them props for having gotten out ahead of it. They clearly got to write the article unopposed. And it’s not like the vibe I get from feminism is that they want you to even know about the *existence* of antifeminism. So to be forced to tell you about it so that they get to spin it is quite interesting, exactly what I suspect happened. |
|
|
|
|
|
I’m sure it’s not linked on the feminism page or if it is it’s buried deep, and what good would it do anyway since it’s so well written! |
|
|

Like you said it should predominately be a neutral, uncritical explanation of anti-feminist views AS VIEWS, the same it would do with any other philosophical or political position, with the feminist take on anti-feminism relegated to a criticism section. ] (]) 16:41, 25 February 2021 (UTC) |

So Newimpartial if I were to find some stuff in print with some real, established history to it that might help? There is a book I know to be of high quality that is more than a century old called The Fraud of Feminism by E Belford Bax(sp?). Hard to imagine it hasn’t been reviewed in a hundred plus years. |
|
|

|
So are you saying that if say Chomsky writes a book copiously documenting some phenomenon, but it’s studiously ignored in the main stream media and not reviewed in the United States, that’ll be grounds for exclusion on Misplaced Pages? |
|

|
|
|
Is there a discussion page where we can think about how to improve this state of affairs? |
|
|

How is Misplaced Pages supposed to avoid falling down an Orwellian rabbit hole when they constantly require the main stream to acknowledge something who’s very core might be that it criticizes the main stream? |

Then all everyone has to do to avoid being criticized is ignore you. Kind of goes back to kindergarten you know? ] (]) 17:05, 25 February 2021 (UTC) |

: Well, WP relies on ''recent'' reliable sources, so publications from the last century are not generally relevant or helpful. And ] do not have to be mainstream sources; for example, academic sources are generally reliable and may represent more diverse views than large media outlets. As far as the inclusion of views like Chomsky's, what actually happens is that the question is discussed case by case on individual Talk pages, without any obvious point for central discussion. ] (]) 17:16, 25 February 2021 (UTC) |

is another reason why nowadays I rarely contribute to Misplaced Pages. The mentioned ] policy is about not taking discussions into the '''article''', but '''this is not the article''': this is the article's '''talk page''', i.e. the correct place where we're supposed to share our (e.g. diverging) ideas and opinions about the subject of the article.<font color=#21A9EB>►</font><span class="plainlinks"></span> 22:32, 25 February 2021 (UTC) |

{{outdent|:::}} ] ''']''' is an actual rant. On the other hand, my "rant" was not an actual rant: it was just an illustration/example about how a controversial topic such as "abortion" allows different viewpoints yet it's not rare to find only one of them in an article. |
|
|
|
|
|
If you pay very close attention to , you'll realize that I neither stated that ''abortion is a right'' nor did I state that ''abortion is not a right'': I just stated that the article's text was modified in order to induce readers to conclude that abortion being a (e.g. civil) right is an absolute indisputable truth, because, in the article's text, this presumed "absolute truth" is used as a '''premise''' before the subsequent statements were made. And this a <u>serious problem</u>, because an actually debateable truth is being presented as an undebateable/indisputable/unquestionable one. Anyway: I was '''not''' specific nor clear about my personal opinion, I just commented the topic's ("abortion") flexibility around such controversy. I mentioned the difference between the mother's DNA and the developing baby's DNA just to illustrate an example of argument that relativizes that presumed absolut truth. If you read the article's intro, it's stated in there that ''antifeminists often oppose the right to abortion'': this type of construction transforms ''abortion is a right'' in a premise (an universally accepted truth) even though in reality the antifeminists do not oppose the right to abortion: they oppose abortion, and they do it precisely because they don't think that abortion is a right. Antifeminists would not oppose to abortion if they believed that abortion is a right. This is just logical reasoning. |

Yet, somehow you "saw" my comment as a ''rant''. Why? Make a sincere self-analysis and hopefully you will realize that your reaction was driven by how you '''felt''' when you read my text.

: To humor this for a second, you state this, {{tq|If you read the article's intro, it's stated in there that ''antifeminists often oppose the right to abortion'': this type of construction transforms ''abortion is a right'' in a premise (an universally accepted truth) even though in reality the antifeminists do not oppose the right to abortion: they oppose abortion, and they do it precisely because they don't think that abortion is a right.}} That isn't what we mean (in English) when we say that someone opposes such and such a right - we mean that someone denies that such a right exists (or that it should exist). When we say that someone "opposes Trans rights", for example, we mean that someone denies that those principles claimed as the rights of trans people are valid rights claims. None of these formulations presupposes that such a right {{tq|exists}} much less that it is an {{tq|absolute indisputable truth}}, nor does it imply any particular ontology or metaphysics about what rights "are" or on what basis rights claims are made. It is this bizarre construal of the text that you performed as though it assumed {{tq|absolute indisputable truth}} of rights claims that I, for one, view as an off-topic rant, since I can see no way that any conceivable discussion of this will produce '''improvements to this article''', though I suppose by the end of the process you might be able to understand English-language style and the nuances thereof a bit better. ] (]) 00:58, 26 February 2021 (UTC) |

{{outdent|:}} ] I had separated some sources to cite in the article about some of the antifeminist view against abortion (e.g. {{cite book |title = Contro il cristianesimo. L'ONU e l'Unione Europea come nuova ideologia | author1 = Eugenia Roccella |author2 = Lucetta Scaraffia |lang=it |isbn=978-8838485053 |page=50}} and {{cite book |author=Ana Caroline Campagnolo |title=Feminismo: Perversão e Subversão |lang=pt-br |pages=139-156 |isbn=9788595070547}}), but I'm under the impression that the article's best served if supported by sources in English instead of in Portuguese and Italian. |

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. It'd be easy enough to cover - just a little bit summarizing ], with a toplink to that article. But where should it be placed in this article's structure? As a top-level subsection? Or does it fit into one of the existing subsections? -- ] (]) 21:29, 11 March 2024 (UTC) |

I'm aware that ''right'' is an ambiguous word because of both its legal and popular use: here in Brazil, the Portuguese word '''direito''' (i.e. ''right'') also assumes different meanings depending on context. If I e.g. state that I have the '''direito''' to be heard, it's not a legal (i.e. an absolute, objective) right, but still I'm socially entitled to it due to e.g. how I feel about it, the local customs and other socially constructed values that support my claim that my voice must be heard (it's a subjective right). On the other hand, I do have the '''direito''' to return any product that I buy online (the seller has to pay my shipping cost), up to 7 days after I receive the product in my residence, and I don't need to offer any explanation for such decision, because such legal (objective, absolute) right is written in law (Brazil's Consumer Protection Code). It's called '''direito de desistência''' (i.e. "the right to withdraw"). This was put in law because when we shop online, we're unable to examine/inspect, manipulate and test the product before we buy it, and we may therefore be negatively surprised by the actual product when it arrives. |

:The men's rights movement was placed in the 21st century section so it is in the body, although I'm also not sure exactly where it should go because it originated in the 20th century. —<span style="font-family:Poppins, Helvetica, Sans-serif;">]</span> ] 22:50, 11 March 2024 (UTC) |

Anyway, I referred to ''right'' as a short for ''legal right'' or ''civil right'' (as e.g. mentioned in the a.k.a. "Civil Rights"), which in such case is absolute in the sense that law is mandatory to all individuals in that specific society (USA). Another example is the , which is absolute in the sense that it applies to everyone because it's put in law (it's an objective use of the concept instead of the subjective one that you mentioned). I however couldn't tell that the text in ] was referring to ''right'' as just something that someone e.g. believes to deserve, claims that should be allowed to perform etc. Maybe the word ''prerrogative'' or ''entitlement'' could be used instead, I don't know. |

::Well, we could always move it to the 20th century.
