I like the total lack of awareness of what they're saying in the last two:

"Everybody works but Mother: she's a suffragette." with a guy doing housework and looking after a baby.
"I want to vote, but my wife won't let me."
". . .I've suffered ever since" with a guy doing housework.

Huh. So housework and childcare *is* work. And it sucks to be the person all that work gets dumped on. And to not be allowed to vote when you want to. How terrible. Maybe we should agitate for social change so nobody's in that awful, awful position.

Can someone help me out here, it seems that some of these images imply it was ILLEGAL for women to wear pants, ever? Is this true, and if so where can I read more?

Interest groups who want large-scale change often lose control of their image, and not just due to their opponents getting over on them. One of the most common ways it happens, for example, is extremists within the movement will have radical views that aren't communicated well to the public, or are just flat out not wanted by the public. The radical views of the minority end up tarnishing the image of the larger movement. It happens all the time.

Given this, blaming all of feminisms' PR problems on "anti-feminists" (whoever they are - the only avowedly anti-feminist groups I know of are utterly marginal and powerless compared to feminists) is obviously silly.

Some of the negative stereotypes of feminists these days comes from so-called "feminists" that step beyond the realm of equality and demand that women be given rights superior to those of men under the guise of equality.

Andrea Dworkin did a pretty decent job at creating negative stereotypes about feminism.

This is rather disappointing and pretty simple. I guess this is a good post if you live in a middle-class or above world, and are white (like all the images presented on this entry).

You're highlighting the obvious, and looking at it from a mainstream perspective. I guess I wish this would have dealt with the other stereotypes that some feminists get: racism, transphobia, classism, Islamophobism, co-opting different struggles of oppression, etc.

WHERE DO NEGATIVE STEREOTYPES ABOUT FEMINISTS COME FROM?

They come from the interactions between people who are threatened by change and those who angrily demand it.

The question to be asked is how these comic postcards actually influenced men and women in their attitudes and actions.

Here are some things that Andrea Dworkin actually said: http://www.nostatusquo.com/ACLU/dworkin/MoorcockInterview.html

I really don't find anything so man-hating or sex-negative in them. Having read many of her works, I have never understood the hatred and slander heaped upon her.

but but but... they are all true! lol

I think it is important to note that the anti-suffragist imagery was not merely a reaction to women's demand for the vote. Rather, at the time, woman's suffrage was so entangled with the prohibition movement that the beer, wine, and liquor industries were pouring inordinate amounts of money into campaigns that demonized suffragists and tied any political gains for women as losses for men. The brewers and liquor interests pushed misogyny because it was profitable to do so and protected their bottom line. Does this sound familiar? (Oh, by the way, the liquor interests also often asserted that they were acting in women's best interests as the women were misled and didn't know what they were doing.)

I'm defined as a feminist and maybe I'm out of the loop from living in the NE my who life. The negative things I see in feminism is a lot like veganism, people are passionate about that label in a way that they don't look at how others are are also human and will jump down someone's throat because of the minute differences in opinion. .

Last of all lets work on terms that works for everyone, not just stereotypical "white women" How about the term: Enlightenist! Until we find a term or use that term answer me these questions that must make me sexist, immature or slow because I have thought about them in a different way.:

Do "health vegans" qualify as vegans?Technically yes.

Does showing skin like in Halloween costumes, having casual sex, or wanting a masculine man make you any less equal? no.

Its terrible to call someone a "girl", and "women" or some of the first inhabiting people in America "Indians" because they identify them selves as them? Don't give me the belittling argument.

Women should be out of the household and into the workplace! Sexist, I know a liberal atheist punk rock feminist that was the main one to raise the kid through early childhood. and a conservative full time stay at home that is more than happy.

Why are women always the victims of catcalling, bossy and rape and how can we keep the arguments focused on them not men? That is a sexist question, I have been the victim of all three (side note my mom called my bossy, and told me to smile).

Finally I'm betting 10/1 feed back on my thoughts are going to be negative ones.

It's amazing how many people shy away from being labeled as "feminists" because of the press's sensationalistic coverage of the radical feminist movement of the 60's and early 70's. This movement reflected the times, when significant changes in the push for women's rights - such as equal pay for equal work and the right to serve in the military - were successfully gained, but the general view of the "women's movement" was tarnished by many who thought it's main headliner supporters were overzealous and sometimes violent. In the end, feminism left a bad taste in the nation's mouth.

Since those early decades when feminism became a national movement, it has been hard for feminists to overcome that negative image of women running amok in the streets burning their bras. It is only within the last few decades that feminists have graduated to a more level-headed, socio-political agenda. The issues are basically the same as they were in those early days of feminist marches and sit-ins, but the manner in which change is being sought and instituted is more mainstream than radical.

Because of the negative connotation that the term "feminist" gained in the past, and the current lack of media put out to educate the public on today's women's rights movement, the term "feminist" has continued to have a bad
name. It's not just men who are confused about what it means to be a feminist and support feminism, I've encountered many women who balk at the term because they associate feminism with the same sort of radical party touting bra burning and man-beating. There is a lot of work to be done to change the present misconception of what it means to be a feminist, and impromptu surveys like this one prove that we still have a long, long way to go.

Thanks so much for posting this article! I will definitely be sharing this on my author's page today!

What makes a feminist radical? There is no standard measure of equality that feminist have put forth, nor is there a standard authority figure that has the means to approve or denounce a feminist. Every time I've argued with a feminist they always claim that whatever another feminist does that makes them look bad isnt really a feminist. Its the No True Scottsman all over the place.

One feminist says everyone who doesn't believe in her brand of feminism isnt a true feminist, and the other says the same thing.and neither has authority. The funny, and infuriating, thing about this article is that it claims the negative stereotype of feminist is yet again... the fault of men. At the very least, the fault of criticism no one in this century has seen or heard. It is the one argument all feminist are good at. "Its not my fault."

Because is it really impossible that anyone's negative views about feminism came from observing actual feminist? Or are feminist the one special group in all of human history above criticism? Feminist is the one ideal in all of Earth's history that has zero philosophical contradictory arguments? Please.

Anti-feminists were right 200 years ago and we are still right today.

Where do negative stereotypes about feminists come from? How about the KillAllMen hashtag? How about Andrea Dworkin and her anti-men quotes? How about Valerie Solanas and her SCUM manifesto? How about gender studies professors teaching our young people that men need to be "taught not to rape?" How about the feminists who carry on about "toxic masculinity?"

How about the feminist who wrote the Dear Colleagues letter that resulted in Universities using a "preponderance of evidence" when dealing with sexual assault on campus, a change that has resulted in SEVERAL young men being expelled from University, being attacked and bullied, or having their lives ruined when they have done NOTHING wrong.

How about the "male tears" mugs that have become so popular in the feminist community? How about the LARGE group of feminists who showed up to a men's rights conference, shouted through megaphones, and pulled a fire alarm to STOP the men's rights conference?

How about the feminists who attacked, bullied, and threatened Erin Pizzey, the woman who created one of the FIRST DV shelters, because she had the nerve to suggest that men are not always SOLELY to blame in violent relationships.

How about the feminist who was responsible for the Tender Years Doctrine, which resulted in MOTHERS being seen as the default caregiver for the children, which, in turn, resulted in fathers having few to no rights in regards to their children.

Negative stereotypes about feminists come from feminists. Tell your feminist sisters to stop ACTING like raging misandrists and people won't think they ARE raging misandrists. When your movement has accomplished pretty much nothing BESIDES unjust and unequal changes, is it any wonder no one believes you when you say you are for gender equality?

Stereotypes are there because there is a lot of truth in them. Not all, of course, but a disproportionately large % of feminists are angry, very unattractive, bitter, with a huge chip on their shoulder towards males, children and the traditional family - especially so when they see the enormous privilege given to their attractive female counterparts which they are excluded from.

- "His comment is frequently used as a particularly extreme version of the feminist stereotype" - Used by whom exactly?

- "Negative stereotypes about feminists, instead, are likely spread by anti-feminists." - Anti-feminists don't need to "spread" anything. All they do is appeal to what feminists have actually said and done. It would perhaps be more productive to address what those particular feminists do and say, as it doesn't nullify anyone's concerns of feminists by saying that it is merely propaganda spread by anti-feminists.

- Also, I'm going to bet-my-bottom-dollar that the reason why most people have lost their patience with feminists is not because of those pictures (most of them have more than likely never seen them before in their life) but from experience.

Where do negative stereotypes about feminists come from?

That's easy. They come from the behavior of feminists themselves.

Now the question of finism is very popular, girls are fighting for their rights and rightly so. My favorite book is Kate Chopin and her History of the Hour, first published in 1894. There is an interesting article on this topic https://newswatchtv.com/2020/07/28/literary-criticism-story-hour/ which I really liked. It is doubtful to study, revise and analyze it without examining the context more thoroughly. It is also worth noting that Chopin's pioneering ideas on the use of irony were groundbreaking for critics and early readers alike.

Such stereotypes lead to the fact that women more and more often choose new trends in social behavior. Only those who are completely free can build their own destiny without restrictions. Maybe this is the meaning of the great demand among married women dating - https://www.nastyhookups.com/married/women.html I support the moment where women themselves decide with whom they meet and with whom they live together. This is right.

yeah, i think the same like Fireboy and Watergirl

This was a fantastic read! Your posts are always so insightful and easy to relate to thank you Chicago jacket
