Abstract

ABSTRACT Feminism and anti-feminism featured prominently in the 2016 presidential election. Hillary Clinton was the first female major party presidential candidate and self-identified as a feminist speaking openly about the challenges facing women. Clinton faced off against Donald Trump, who was on record making sexist statements and arguing that Clinton’s success was from playing the “woman card”. We ask several questions: who identifies as a feminist today and how is this different from who identified as a feminist in the previous generation? Who identifies as “anti-feminist”? Are anti-feminists simply a mirror reflection of feminists or is it a distinctive social identity? Finally, the study explores the meaning of these labels by looking at what feminists and anti-feminists believe in terms of public policy and attitudes about gender equality. Thus, this study provides insights into the state of modern feminism and antifeminism in contemporary American politics.

21世纪美国的女性主义与反女性主义认同

摘要女权主义和反女权主义在2016年总统选举中占据突出地位。希拉里·克林顿是第一位主要政党的女性总统候选人，她自称是一位女权主义者，公开谈论女性面临的挑战。克林顿与唐纳德·特朗普对峙，后者公开发表性别歧视言论，并辩称克林顿的成功来自于打“女性牌”。我们问了几个问题：今天谁是女权主义者，这与上一代女权主义者有何不同？谁认为自己是“反女权主义者”？反女权主义者只是女权主义者的镜像，还是一种独特的社会身份？最后，本研究通过观察女权主义者和反女权主义者在公共政策和对性别平等的态度方面的看法，探讨了这些标签的含义。因此，本研究为当代美国政治中的现代女权主义和反女权主义提供了见解。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Women, Politics & Policy explores women and their roles in the political process as well as key policy issues that impact women''s lives. Articles cover a range of tops about political processes from voters to leaders in interest groups and political parties, and office holders in the legislative, executive, and judicial branches of government (including the increasingly relevant international bodies such as the European Union and World Trade Organization). They also examine the impact of public policies on women''s lives in areas such as tax and budget issues, poverty reduction and income security, education and employment, care giving, and health and human rights — including violence, safety, and reproductive rights — among many others. This multidisciplinary, international journal presents the work of social scientists — including political scientists, sociologists, economists, and public policy specialists — who study the world through a gendered lens and uncover how gender functions in the political and policy arenas. Throughout, the journal places a special emphasis on the intersection of gender, race/ethnicity, class, and other dimensions of women''s experiences.
