MHRM blogs and forums often see posts from women self identifying as feminists who object to the characterisation among MHRAs that feminism is not interested in equality and that is in fact an anti-male movement. It is reasonable to conclude that the majority of women who make this claim are honest in their belief that feminism is a movement for gender equality. This article is intended to respond to those queries.

Opinions among MHRAs differ about whether feminism was ever a movement interested in gender equality but the overwhelming belief is that if it ever was, it isn't any more.

The very name of the movement gives a clue about its real aims. The early founders of this movement could have given the movement a gender-neutral name such as Egalitarianism but they didn't. They named the movement for one gender. They called it feminism. This name immediately indicates that this movement is for women rather than being for gender equality.

Regardless, most MHRAs are concerned about modern feminism rather than historical feminism.
