antifeminism
Opposition to equality
Antifeminism is opposition to feminism or to the advocacy of women's rights and equality.
It encompasses a range of views, from those who reject specific feminist positions to those who oppose the movement entirely.
Antifeminists may argue that feminism has gone too far, that it undermines traditional values, or that it disadvantages men.
The politician's antifeminism alienated many voters.
The term can describe both organized movements and individual attitudes.
