anti-feminism
Opposition to equality
Anti-feminism is opposition to feminism or to the advancement of women's rights and equality.
It ranges from intellectual critique of feminist theory to hostile rejection of women in public life.
Anti-feminists may argue that feminism has achieved its goals and now overreaches, or that traditional gender roles are natural and preferable: Her anti-feminism surprised her college roommates.
