And no one is likely to do anything about that." - Golda Meir "My analysis is that the gays are about 5% of the attack on marriage in this country, and the feminists are about 95%." - Phyllis Schlafly "This is what sexual liberation chiefly accomplishes-it liberates young women to pursue married men." - George Gilder "We must not allow ourselves to be deflected by the feminists who are anxious to force us to regard the two sexes as completely equal in position and worth." - Sigmund Freud "Feminism is a socialist, anti-family, political movement that encourages women to leave their husbands, kill their children, practice witchcraft, destroy capitalism and become lesbians." - Pat Robertson "Most of the feminists need a man to tell them what time of day it is and to lead them home.

A realist. Someone who realizes men and women are not created equal and social expectations of men and woman evolve from simple biological truths. This is opposed to a feminist, who lives in a fantasy land where men and women are exactly the same and should be treated as such. Antifeminists do not wish for woman to be "enslaved". This is an appeal to fear by many prominent feminist who would like to ignore the fact that men are expected by traditional society to do certain things we may not find pleasent either - such as go to war, work at a job we don't like, etc. Rather, antifeminists wish to reduce the harm caused by feminists which has perverted the natural order of gender relations (which is largely a cultural universal) in favor of a plastic, manufactured society not based in reality. This type of society has lead to a gradual erosion of woman's happiness since the 1950's. Urban Dictionary

An internet movement that overly criticizes the "feminism" found mainly on Tumblr (although not the only thing on the platform, contrary to popular belief) while ignoring the issues that minorities really face.

Just know that I personally full support true equality, and do not think any gender, sexuality, race, etc. is better than any other. Hetero = bi = homo = a = queer, male = female = intersex = third gender.) Urban Dictionary

A group of people who are generally noted as being against or denying the concepts of feminism. There are three sub-groups within Antifeminism similar to the two sub-groups within Feminism (Feminism & Feminazism/Modern Feminism). These groups are defined by their approach towards the subject of Feminism and how they stand towards the Feminism Sub-Groups, these three sub-groups are; Antifeminazisists, Standard Antifeminists & Misogynistic Antifeminists (A.K.A. Misogynists). Antifeminazists know the difference between Feminazis & Feminists while Antifeminists, do not, both Sub-Groups agree however that some statements made by Feminists in general are wrong, poorly worded or warped in some way. Misogynistic Antifeminists are usually seen as partially sexist individuals who believe that some amount of time in the past, civilization had reached gender equality and that women have gotten too much power.
