The AntiFeminist
The AntiFeminist (often abbreviated as The AF) is the online pseudonym of a veteran anti-feminist blogger and commentator in the manosphere. He is best known for his long-running website theantifeminist.com, which argues that feminism systematically represses normal male sexual desire, autonomy, and expression through legal, cultural, and economic mechanisms. His core thesis revolves around the idea of women operating as a "sexual trade union" or cartel that restricts sexual supply to extract resources and power from men.[1] [2]
Though he does not identify as an incel, The AntiFeminist's writings exhibit substantial overlap with common incel perspectives on female hypergamy and sexual marketplace dynamics. He has directly referenced and shared content from incels.is, and views incel spaces as preserving core manosphere truths about biological realism and feminist ideology.[3][4]
History[edit | edit source]
The AntiFeminist began blogging around 2005, during the early formation of the modern manosphere (including Men's rights activists, MGTOW, and pickup artists). He was already actively blogging by late 2008; an archived snapshot of his site from December 2008 shows a steady stream of posts on themes that would define his work for the next two decades. Posts from that era described feminism as a "sexual trade union," argued that "feminism has become the rape of the male," discussed UK prostitution legislation under Jacqui Smith, false rape accusations, double standards in age-of-consent enforcement (such as a 39-year-old woman having sex with a 14-year-old boy and facing no punishment), EU attempts to ban "sexist" TV commercials, and critiques of female voting patterns in the U.S. election. In one post he described his blogging as "a means of self-expression, to keep sane, and to have the personal satisfaction of stating (and spreading) the truth about feminism while it remains possible to do so."[5]
The original site went offline around 2021 due to a series of personal hardships, including his mother's death from cancer and harassment by online trolls. This period was further complicated by a prolonged legal dispute with his ex-partner and "teenage sweetheart" Sabrina Vaz—an OnlyFans creator and YouTuber with over 500,000 subscribers who allegedly redirected the domain. This led to an approximately four-year hiatus.[3]
The site was revived in April 2025 after The AntiFeminist regained control through court proceedings. In his return post, he cited additional family losses (his brother's death), his own genetic cancer risk, chronic health issues, and a desire to leave a digital legacy for the "super AI" era. He framed the revival as a chance to reaffirm 15–20-year-old predictions about feminism's defeat by technology and to "topple Eivind from his throne" as a leading voice in male sexualist activism. The revived site features regular "AntiFeminist News" roundups on anti-male sex legislation, "Theory" essays (including on Roy Baumeister’s sexual economics), "Tactics" posts, and antifeminist movie reviews, maintaining thematic continuity with the pre-hiatus era.[3][6] He has emphasized efforts in preserving pre-feminist cultural artifacts as part of his legacy.[7]
The AntiFeminist was a prolific longtime commenter on Eivind Berge's MRA blog, engaging in debates on male sexualism for over a decade, though tensions later developed over tactics and emphasis.[3]
Worldview[edit | edit source]
The AntiFeminist's philosophy centers on what he calls the "war on male sexuality" orchestrated by feminism. Drawing from Roy Baumeister’s sexual economics theory, he describes women as forming a "sexual trade union" or cartel that artificially restricts the supply of sex to maximize their bargaining power for resources, status, and control. Feminism enforces this cartel through ever-expanding definitions of sexual assault, higher age-of-consent thresholds, bans on "barely legal" or youth-oriented pornography, and cultural shaming that pathologizes normal male attraction to women at peak fertility (typically post-pubescent teenagers).[1][2][8][9]
The AntiFeminist argues that biological and historical realities directly contradict feminist ideology: post-pubescent teenage girls represent evolutionary peak attractiveness and fertility, a preference he presents as statistically normal for men rather than deviant. The site frequently cites pre-feminist cultural artifacts—1970s–1980s media featuring topless teens, songs like Winger’s “Seventeen,” or historical age-of-consent norms—to document what he terms a modern "sexual dark ages" imposed by feminist repression. Older women, according to The AntiFeminist, often fuel hysteria out of jealousy once their own sexual marketplace value declines.[2][10]
He rejects attempts to frame ephebophilia (attraction to mid-to-late teens) as a "minor-attracted person" (MAP) identity, viewing such framing as absurd.[11] He condemns pedophilia and the MAP movement, but he also criticizes age cucks (a term he has adopted from incel-adjacent discourse) for irrationally defending arbitrary legal cutoffs such as 18 over biological puberty as the natural marker of sexual maturity. His writing style is deliberately provocative, favoring direct confrontation over what he dismisses as ineffective approaches.[4][3][12]
Technological progress—internet pornography, deepfakes, and especially AI—is portrayed as a liberating force that disrupts the female cartel, provoking increasingly harsh feminist backlash through stricter laws. Despite personal and movement setbacks, The AntiFeminist expresses cautious optimism that growing awareness in manosphere and incel spaces, combined with AI-driven change, could usher in a "sexual renaissance." He positions part of his work as archival preservation of pre-hysteria culture for future digital historians or "super AI" archaeologists.[3][1][7]
Relationship to incels[edit | edit source]
While The AntiFeminist presents himself primarily as an activist resisting repression rather than a fatalistic celibate, he has directly referenced and endorsed content from incels.is and positively notes that incel communities have made important observations about women and feminism."[4] A leaked U.S. Department of Homeland Security document he quotes highlights youth-preference and "hitting the wall" ideology as among the most "dangerous" ideas in the manosphere.[3][4] He has critiqued elements of the broader men's rights movement for their stance on statutory rape laws.[13]
Differences remain in tone and outlook. The AntiFeminist is generally more optimistic about organized resistance, legal/cultural pushback, and technology-driven liberation than the pure "it's over" fatalism common in blackpilled incel spaces. His long-term presence and willingness to engage incel content makes him a bridge between early manosphere anti-feminism and contemporary incel realism.[3]
