Antifeminism is the opposition to feminism.
Many proponents of antifeminism feel that feminism is a destructive force to society and family life , whilst others feel that the feminist movement has achieved its aims and is now pushing for more than equality , .
Anti-feminist groups particularly point to the dramatic increase in the divorce rate and breakdown of the family since the rise of feminism, and note that crime statistics, teenage pregnancy, and drug abuse are all higher among children of fatherless homes . Their critics point out that correlation does not imply causation , and that feminism is not to blame for old role models and gender roles that could be changed for both genders.
Antifeminists have gathered momentum in recent years, parallel to the growth of the Men's Rights movement, due to what is perceived by them as the misandric policies of Western governments .
