Progressivism is a political philosophy ostensibly in support of social reform. In practice however it is today closely aligned with feminism and intersectionality and today often opposes reform. Until recently progressive organisations largely ignored problems facing men and boys but have increasingly started discussing how to influence men and boys, particularly encouraging gynocentrism and male disposability.

The meaning of progressivism has varied over time and differs depending on perspective. Early-20th century progressivism included proponents of eugenics and the temperance movement, both of which were promoted in the name of public health and as initiatives toward that goal.[1][2][3][4]



[5] In modern politics, progressivism is generally considered part of the left-liberal tradition.[6][7][8][9][10] In the 21st century, a movement that identifies as progressive is "a social or political movement that aims to represent the interests of ordinary people through political change and the support of government actions".[11]


Detractors routinely refer to progressives as regressives.
