YouGov US: “Women and politics: What Americans think about the 2024 election and how views have changed.”

Interesting. An example of how the word “anti-feminist” is making ever greater inroads into the mainstream. An extract, in which there is a very useful graphic on the website article:

Views on feminism and gender equality

The majority of Americans (55%) say they do not identify as either a feminist or anti-feminist. One in four (24%) say they are either a feminist or strong feminist, and 9% say they are either an anti-feminist or strong anti-feminist.

About one-third (31%) of women identify as a feminist, while 8% say they are anti-feminist. Feminist identification is especially common among women who support Harris (60%) or have college degrees (43%). Women who support Trump are more likely to identify as anti-feminists (12%) than as feminists (7%).

Men are somewhat more likely to call themselves feminists (17%) than anti-feminists (10%). Men under 45 are more likely than older men to adopt both labels: 23% say they’re feminists and 15% say they’re anti-feminists. 40% of men who support Harris see themselves as feminists, compared to only 5% of Trump-supporting men. While college-educated men are slightly more likely to identify as feminists than men without a college degree, the education divide among men is far less stark than it is among women.

Perceptions of the term “feminist” are split. 30% see “feminist” as either mostly or completely positive, 35% as mostly or completely negative, and 27% as neutral. [J4MB emphasis]
