Talk:Antifeminism: Difference between revisions

: I am the poster from 129.97.131.0. I'm not anti-feminist, nor really feminist (in that I participate in either of the movements). I do listen to various prospectives though, and come to my own conclusions. Just to add some things on, I don't believe we need to remove the views of feminists. However, what I do believe is that most anti-feminists would define themselves and their actions very differently than what feminists define them as, especially as presented on the article. The real reason why this is a problem is that, even as academics, I believe (whether intentional or not) that it starts to become a strawmans argument. For example, academics claim that anti-feminists are people who want to repress women's rights, where as I believe most anti-feminists would say they oppose feminists themselves, because of irrational claims / emotionally charged actions, gynocentrism, or whatever else. The problem is that the arguments that are presented by anti-feminists are simply not represented, but replaced with claims that make them look bad (again, in general, not as a pretence to an argument). I should also mention that some anti-feminists also DO support the suppression of womens rights (not unlike feminists who support suppression of mens rights), and even in a more historical context (which I believe can be included on the article) anti-feminism could have been defined as people who support the suppression of womens rights. However, I do not beleive that in general, modern anti-feminists support the suppression of womens rights. Now then, the more important question: Where can we get some reasonable sources as to what anti-feminists would generally define themselves as? Is there any academics who clearly state or argue the anti-feminist viewpoint? [[Special:Contributions/129.97.124.194|129.97.124.194]] ([[User talk:129.97.124.194|talk]]) 06:41, 7 March 2016 (UTC)

::Your point of view is interesting but it does nothing to shift this article. Topic experts define a topic. The topic experts here are scholars who study the issues of antifeminism. This article already has plenty of these. It doesn't need more of them. [[User:Binksternet|Binksternet]] ([[User talk:Binksternet|talk]]) 06:52, 7 March 2016 (UTC)
