The following has lately been posted at the online Al-Jazeera:

Briefly, a number of people in Germany are raising their voices against feminism. However, judging by the tenor of the article and the reader comments which follow, these people have a long way to go before they reach red pill awareness. Their opposition to feminism, thus far, looks narrow and trite, seemingly built around the singular issue of "quotas", and female pride in "making it on your own."
Oh certainly, I love seeing those young women holding up signs that read "I don't need feminism because. . .". Their politics is good so far as it goes. And yes, they do point a dagger at feminism by naming feminism in a pejorative light.
However, they are far, far, far from driving that dagger home. So I must characterize their political development as larval, at best.
The commenters, though writing in English, seem to be mostly Germans or continental Europeans of whatever kind. And two or three of them are annoying ninnies who would dutifully have us understand that we "obviously don't know what feminism is", or that we are really feminists and just don't realize it.
I want to build a new circle into Dante's hell, just for those people! We have an official, special name for such people: feminist subjectivists. Add that to your counter-feminist dictionary.
Yes, you can always tell a feminist subjectivist - but you can't tell them much!
These feminist subjectivists clearly never got the memo that the power to define feminism is no longer a feminist monopoly.
But in fairness, that memo has not yet been efficiently circulated. All right, so we're working on it. Give it time. The good news is, that more and more people are speaking out against feminism by name. Let us be glad of it.
Very well. The takeaway from all of this is, that the non-feminist revolution is a complex system of sociopolitical energy - in fact, it is a force of nature. However, it is not something that we can usefully define as a "movement". Many people, in many places, are reacting intuitively to feminism and its varied consequences, and most of them have not come to anything like an holistic understanding of the problem. They are like the blind men in the fable declaring that the elephant is like a rope, like a snake, like a tree trunk, et cetera. We vanguard thinkers must gradually make them aware that the feminist elephant is indeed like each of these things, because it is like ALL of these things and quite a bit more.
Yes. Some of us can already see the elephant, and we must teach others to do so likewise.
