Are these definitions of feminism and antifeminism accurate? Why or why not?
These definitions very accurately describe the common perspectives that are held today along the “battle lines” of “gender wars”. I especially appreciate the inclusion of the subject of change. Fundamental to any conservatism, such as antifeminism, is subjective magical-thinking and fervent belief that change is somehow resistible and that either change is no good because it is “unnatural” or that change is no good because it somehow threatens to disempower those who then resist change. Humans have a problem with the concept of “change” because we have been struggling for thousands of years with ignorance and subjective magical-thinking. We as a sentient species are really extremely young and primitive. Not until the last one hundred years have humans come to leave their agrarian lives and villages en masse to see the rest of the world and learn that parting your hair only on the left as it has “always” been done in their isolated villages and cultures is not necessarily “God’s Will”,
