It’s fairly well established that feminism is broadly the movement to bring about the equality of the sexes (i.e. the movement against sexism).
Why does it feel like “anti-sexism” as a term might be born from a misunderstanding of feminism as being misandrist? I don’t see any articles on “anti-sexism”, anyone have clarity?
Like any word “feminism” is subject to fluctuating definitions. Historically, and currently on the academic level, feminism is indeed synonymous with anti-sexism.
However there is a wide range of people who use it to mean misandry. The gender wars narrative is becoming massive in the society.
The male side of it is widely spoken about, represented by Andrew Tate and such, but there is also a female side who unfortunately appropriated the name of feminism.
For a while I used Tiktok, and half of my feed was stuff like “men are useless emotionless parasites”. I was definitely served that as algorithmic ragebait, but I wonder how many actually think like that.
