what the difference of Pro-feminist and anti-feminist?

Question

can somebody please respond to me A.S.A.P please!!!!!

Answer 1

Pro-feminists are women who can't find a real man. That is the plain and simple truth, although they will scream bloody murder denying it, and they will obfuscate until your head spins -- "If you can't beat them, confuse them" is their motto.

Answer 2

Look up PRO then look up ANTI then look up feminist in that useful book called a dictionary.

Answer 3

I'm anti-feminism, as I'm sure some people know already (and no I don't support President Bush--let's get that out of the way).

I don't believe the lie that gender roles are social constructs.

I believe that everyone is equal under the law, and that men and women are different due to biological reasons--not social conditioning.

I am firmly against abortion for any reason, as it takes the life of an innocent child.

I recognize that feminism has wreaked havoc on society--men are given the hose when it comes to child custody, for example. Look at the cases of Scott Peterson and Clara Harris. Based on what I've read, I am not convinced that Peterson is guilty. Yes, he cheated on his wife...but I think that's the reason he got railroaded. Gloria Allred is a radical feminist btw, so look out guys.

As far as Clara Harris...everyone's like, oh, poor Clara, her husband cheated on her, give her a break, she only ran over her husband with his daughter in the car! Personally I think she should have been handed the death penalty--had I been on the jury, I would have recommended it. Yes, he was a jerk for cheating, but he didn't deserve to be run over! Not to mention she was cheating on him as well! Apparently what's good for the goose is a no-no for the gander!

Feminism is not about equality, it's about oppressing men, the way I see it. Feminists, especially the more militant ones, seem to have an issue with women acting feminine. Why is it you have to act like a MAN to be equal? Hello?

I am a housewife and mother, and I'm not ashamed of it!


EDIT: Note that I said that I didn't think Scott Peterson was guilty. IF he is he should get the death penalty, but I believe there's enough REASONABLE DOUBT.

Goes to show you, conservative, anti-feminist women aren't necessarily uneducated!

Answer 4

I'm anti-feminist. Why? Because I follow tradional roles. I am not saying that the minute a girl can marry, she should marry an stay in the kitchen all of her life, but what I am saying, is that when you do get married and have kids, your life is in the home. So, you don't WANT to be chained to a home with kids? Then don't have them.

Society is equal, you just have to look a little deeper to see things, and not pout and whine about whats on the surface.

Answer 5

Pro-feminists think the best of women and want the best for women. They also think the best of men and want the best for men.

Anti-feminists think the worst of women and want the worst for women. They don't care what women want or think or need-they think they know what is best for women and want to make decisions for women. Anti-feminists also blame feminists for any idea, statement, article, book or law that even remotely affects men in a way *they* think is unfair. They can't figure out that society is complex and made up of lots of different types of women and men or that laws are made up, enforced, and not enforced in crazy ways.

Many anti-feminist complain about their lack of rights and their oppression! They can't acknowledge that this is not a perfect world and that women lack rights and are oppressed in many ways in many countries. Anti-feminists only see how they are personally affected, and refuse to accept that both men and women are struggling to figure out a fair way to live together and separately (when divorce or death occurs). Anti-feminists also blame feminists for not "fixing" any law that they deem unfair..as though feminists can wave a magic wand and "fix" a law that took years to create, that no one has control over how the law is enforced or interpreted, and often no one truly knows the consequences of a law until it has been in place for a while. Change is not logical and orderly, and these guys want things equal now-like women don't want the same thing!

Anti-feminists harass women who think differently from them and if women disagree with them, they denigrate how women look, they denigrate women's intelligence, they denigrate women's character, they accuse women who disagree with them of being lesbian, and they accuse women who disagree with them of being "man-haters". Rush Limbaugh has created a huge following by calling feminists horrible names and mocking them; he's been very successful since many women believe the hateful speeches of women-hating men like Rush. Even though many men and women agree with the goals for equality for women and men, they won't label themselves feminists because of the hatefulness of anti-women leaders like Rush.

Another argument anti-feminists like to make is that feminists want superiority, as though women already have equality and now want to lord it over men. I can't imagine what grown-up would want to be superior to their partner, but these women-haters are absolutely sure that women want to take over the world. They sound like they are frightened, either they feel they are losing control of their family or their wife or girlfriend, or they've already lost control of their female partner, or they fear they'll never be able to find a woman who would love them. Unfortunately, frightened people are capable of desperate acts, and these men ooze hatred and contempt towards women.

Answer 6

Pro-feminists are women and men who are for women having equal rights in everything and wanting women to pursue careers instead of making kids and being traditional. Anti-feminists are women and men who don't want equal rights and think that women should stay in the home and take care of the children and the husband while the husband goes out to make a living for the family.

Answer 7

As Alexandra touched on, feminism has become a negative force and outlived its time. I personally believe that feminism has given women too many of the rights they don't need and has missed one or two that they do, as well as taken quite a few from men, at least in the social sphere.

A pro-feminist is sympathetic to feminist concerns. The people that refer to themselves using this term are almost exclusively male, usually because they think that a man can't be labeled a feminist. Go figure.

An anti-feminist is simply somebody against feminism for any number of reasons. Alexandra's post above details most of them.

EDIT: Lay off the offensive, Elle M, and read. She didn't say she thought what he did was OK, she said she thought he wasn't GUILTY of the crime he was accused of. Point the blame and offense at somebody who is uncivil and deserves it.

Answer 8

Pro feminist believe in equality for all. This includes gender, race, ability, religion, age, class.
For men to be pro feminist: Profeminism means support for feminism, ie active support for a feminist struggle for a gender equal society, for a society providing equal opportunities for men & women.

A profeminist men's movement then is a movement of men actively supporting feminism, listening to & learning from women but also using whatever power they have as men to make their contribution in the struggle for a society providing equal opportunities for men & women.

A profeminist men's movement is not an anti-men movement but is aware of the need to deconstruct male gender & male heterosexual hegemony & dominance in order to achieve its goals. It also acknowledges the conflict between deconstructing and using male power and hence must be very sensitive in using power to promote equality.

A profeminist men's movement addresses all men, without trying to please men and without trying to please women. It is by necessity an avant-garde but not an elitist movement. It wants to convince and show men that men also benefit from equality.

Now for the easy one anti-feminists believe that gender roles are not a social construct which most learned people know is a given. They also seem to believe that Scott Peterson should be allowed to go free after being convicted of murdering his wife and unborn child. Funny that coming from a woman who proclaims to be against abortion in any form. I believe that is rather a strange idea in itself but hey coming from a conservative anti-feminist I will believe anything.
