Post-feminism is a contemporary argument that feminism has already served its purpose in achieving women"s equality, and is now socially and politically dead. Anti-feminism is opposition to feminism or to feminist activism that may define feminism as destructive of the family or as a project to disempower men. All feminists are women; need to be broader to include men. Roots, liberal philosophy developed from the european enlightenment. Ie. the printing press allowed getting information to poorer classes, can reflect human reason as individuals. Focused on gender inequality, liberal feminists feel that children are being raised into gender roles; feel there is an unequal opportunity. Focused also on the politics of the workplace.
