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.

Really? Hmmph. That's what I get for hasty posting :(

Yup. They're not antifeminists, they're people miffed about the mod policies in the lj community "feminism".

Ah...see, this is why I made for a really bad forum moderator, my "troll detector" is set to way too high a tolerance.

Whereas I, I am a cynical bitch. I have to admit, though - it has served me well, at times.

Unfortunately, my attempts towards cynicism just make me more neurotic, which is much less useful :/
