Antifeminism is highly political and fights against an all-powerful imagined feminism and, above all, the actors and institutions associated with it. We are then dealing with so-called pro-life activists or men's or fathers' rights activists who organise themselves against a supposed "parent-child alienation" or the accusation of "attachment intolerance".
Conspiracy narratives and threat scenarios are often linked to this, with talk of "state feminism" or the "totalitarian state doctrine of feminism". What characterises the social connectivity of these positions? Where exactly do they tie in with political developments? Which networks finance which forms of influence?
What can we do to counter this, how can we gain confidence in dealing with these positions and individuals? How can we find allies and strengthen our solidarity - against "silencing" and the danger of being a "lone fighter"?
