En tant que contre-mouvement, l'antiféminisme est traversé par différents courants de pensée, à la manière des mouvements sociaux qui se structurent autour d'une pluralité d'identités collectives et d'idéologies. En raison de son rapport d'imitation, l'antiféminisme évolue et se transforme en fonction des avancées du mouvement féministe avec qui il entretient un rapport conflictuel. 1, record 1, French, - antif%C3%A9minisme
