Modern Misogyny - Anti-Feminism in a Post-Feminist Era

Pundits and politicians often opine on the irrelevance of feminism and the women''s movement today. Some commentators describe the state of feminism as "post-feminist," alongside equally questionable claims of Barack Obama''s election as signaling a "post-racial" America. Modern Misogyny examines contemporary anti-feminism in a "post-feminist" era. It considers the widespread notion that the feminist movement has ended, in large part because the work of feminism has been completed. In fact, the argument goes, women have been so successful in achieving equality, it is now men who currently are at risk of becoming irrelevant and unnecessary.
