It is no mystery that there has been a subtle tension between the anti-feminist community and MGTOW. It is not uncommon for those within the anti-feminist community to label MGTOW as the male equivalent of feminism. Though there have been instances where MGTOW have gone after anti-feminists, historically, the nature of such attacks tended to focus on an individual anti-feminist and not on the core project of anti-feminism itself.

However, this has not held similarly true when attacks have come from the anti-feminist community directed at MGTOW. It is far more common for anti-feminists to attack the MGTOW project as a whole as oppose to individual MGTOW though the latter does happen from time to time. Up to this point, it is not known to me on any MGTOW content creators who have gone after the core anti-feminist project directly. Such activities tend to be the sole domain of feminists themselves. For the most part, anti-feminism is not perceived as being in direct conflict with any MGTOW position. It has not been seen by the MGTOW community that if the anti-feminist project succeeds, this will yield a negative result on men.

In fact, when taken from a MGTOW perspective, some MGTOW would consider feminism the greater evil as opposed to traditionalism. Under such an interpretation, the eradication of feminism and the reinstatement of traditionalism would be a step up but not a solution in itself.

Now, in this video I want to explore the anti-feminist project directly. More specifically, I want to see how anti-feminist this project actually is. Let us first look at the term at face value. To be an anti-feminist, one must be in opposition to something; in this case feminism. However, here we must look a little closer at the word “anti.” The word itself sometimes carries a sense in which the nature of the opposition carries with it support for the opposite thing for which one is anti. For example, if I am anti-abortion, it would necessarily be the case that I was pro-life, as these two positions are exhaustive for the issue at hand.

However, this need not be the case for anti-feminists. For example, if I was anti-Islam, there would be no specific opposite towards which I was logically committed to. For example, it does not logically follow that to be anti-Islam entails pro-Christianity. It also does not follow that to be anti-Islam is to be pro-Atheism.
So, much like in our anti-Islam example, feminism does not have some logical opposite towards which one is necessarily committed to by being an anti-feminist. Anti-feminism does not itself carry some pro-Something entailment. However, if this the case, then what must the anti-feminist be saying when he so describes himself as an anti-feminist. Well, he must be saying that feminism is either morally wrong, or ontologically false. In other words, it is either the case that feminism is somehow evil and therefore ought to be opposed on ethical grounds, or that feminism rests on false premises and those premises ought to be rejected as they do not obtain in reality.

So, is being an anti-feminist similar to being anti-abortion, in the sense that the pro-life side views abortion as morally wrong, or, is anti-feminism more like being anti-theist, in the sense that one denies the ontological obtainment of God. Perhaps to answer this question we need to look towards how prominent anti-feminists describe feminism.

Sargon of Akkad over the course of his time as an anti-feminist, has described feminism as a religion. Religious symbolism has been used by many within the anti-feminist community to describe feminists as well as feminist institutions and practices.

If we take the lead of these anti-feminists in terms of what they say, then it would follow that to be an anti-feminist is more similar to being anti-theist than it is to be anti-abortion. If this is true, then it would follow that feminism is opposed not on the grounds that it is ethically wrong, but on the grounds that feminist claims to not ontologically obtain. In other words, anti-feminists must believe that feminists make ontological claims which are false, and that those claims ought to be rejected as well as all conclusions that follow from arguments that use those claims as their premises.
