anti feminism

EDIT: Hmm, so perhaps judging such a dicey topic on a brief skim was unwise. I think I've been reading so much legitimate criticism of feminism for this post that I stopped being sufficiently cynical about anti-feminists motives.

Since [livejournal.com profile] greteldragon asked if I knew of any "Why I am not a feminist even though I'm a woman and against sexism" stuff(*) I've been keeping an eye out, and today came accross [livejournal.com profile] anti_feminism, which from a brief skim seems like it's participants have their hearts in the right place (ie they don't appear to be a bunch of raving mysogynists, unlike another community I came accross a while ago with a similar name I can't remember)

So, not my sort of thing, but thought some of you might be interested.

(*)Beyond Why I am not a feminist

Half those people are well known trolly trolls of trolldom. nyjoder, lost_kite and hollowpointslug for starters.

Have seen that group before and it didn't seem to be an interesting discussion about anti-feminism int he way you or I would describe it, more like bitching and snarking.

And I have vegan_snark for all my snarking needs :)

Certainly interesting, in a not sure I entirely agree with this either, and not interesting in the way that other post was.

Still, thanks for the thought!
