ABSTRACT
The line between feminist and antifeminist is not always as clear as expected. Purdue, for example, though a pro-life proponent, has always worked hard for women in the workforce and values many of the platforms of the women’s movement. She feels she is a feminist. Sykes and Fesl reject feminism, but they would not be grouped with the anti-feminists because their fight is with racism and therefore potentially with all white women. The feminists themselves give differing viewpoints and Seeger classifies herself as a ‘classical feminist’ because she is not anti-male. Spender (D.) spends most of her time with women, yet Stott and Seeger do not believe in excluding males from gatherings. So although the women here have been roughly grouped together as feminists and antifeminists, in reality we cannot so easily dichotomise them. Some similarities, often surprising, have arisen between these two groups.
