Some commentators describe the state of feminism as post-feminist, alongside equally questionable claims of Barack Obama's election as signaling a post-racial America. \u003cem\u003eModern Misogyny\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003eexamines contemporary anti-feminism in a post-feminist era. It considers the widespread notion that the feminist movement has ended, in large part because the work of feminism has been completed. In fact, the argument goes, women have been so successful in achieving equality, it is now \u003cem\u003emen\u003c\/em\u003e who\u003cbr\u003ecurrently are at risk of becoming irrelevant and unnecessary. These sentiments make up modern anti-feminism. \u003cem\u003eModern Misogyny\u003c\/em\u003e argues that equality has not been fully achieved and that anti-feminism is now packaged in a more palatable, but stealthy form. This book addresses the nature, function, and\u003cbr\u003eimplications of modern anti-feminism in the United States. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cem\u003eModern Misogyny \u003c\/em\u003eexplores the landscape of popular culture and politics, emphasizing relatively recent moves away from feminist activism to individualism and consumerism where self-empowerment represents women's progress. It also explores the retreat to traditional gender roles after September 11, \u003cbr\u003e2001. It interrogates the assumption that feminism is unnecessary, that women have achieved equality, and therefore those women who do insist on being feminists want to get ahead of men. Finally, it takes a fresh look at the positive role that feminism plays in today's post-feminist era, and how\u003cbr\u003efeminism does and might function in women's lives. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePost-feminist discourse encourages young women to believe that they were born into a free society, so if they experience discrimination, it is an individual, isolated problem that may even be their own fault. \u003cem\u003eModern Misogyny \u003c\/em\u003eexamines that rendering of feminism as irrelevant and as the silencing and\u003cbr\u003emarginalizing of feminists. Anderson calls for a revived feminism that is vigilant in combatting modern forms of sexism.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kristin J.
