Abstract

Unnoticed for a long time, the newest variety of antifeminist agitation has formed in countless internet forums of masculinist provenience. However, their virtuality should by no means lead to an underestimation of this self-proclaimed ‘movement’. After all, so-called masculinists are by now dominating the commentary columns of a multitude of reputable media, while also receiving institutional tailwind and putting forward ‘analogous’ events, thus sharpening their sociopolitical profile. Andreas Kemper attended to these gender traditionalists and their far-right positions. As emphasized by the author himself, scientific studies in terms of a critical discussion of postfeminist-biologistic gender concepts should, no, have to follow.
