Reactionary feminism is a conservative variant of feminism that emphasizes traditional gender roles, heteronormativity, and the family as solutions to women's socio-economic challenges.[1] The term originated in a 2021 article by the author Mary Harrington and was later expanded upon in her book Feminism Against Progress.[1][2] Louise Perry has also been associated with reactionary feminism.[1][3]
Reactionary feminists argue that progressive politics deny biologically based, evolutionarily determined differences between men and women.[1] Many reactionary feminists are anti-abortion. They align with aspects of maternal feminism and reject the sexual revolution. Reactionary feminism attributes the increased acceptance of transgender identities to technological advancements in biotechnology since the 1960s.
While not all adherents are religious, the ideology shares certain similarities with Catholic social teaching.
