Abstract:

This Element shows how two social movements, lesbian separatism and
Men Going Their Own Way (MGTOW), reflect the changing and complex
(anti-)feminist ideologies of their time. The authors outline the
historical and political background of those discourses and how they
are influencing contemporary gender relations. The materials analysed
comprise ten manifestos, which are examined with a combination of
data-led discourse analysis and theory-led argumentation analysis. The
manifestos are similar in that both sets of authors construct
homogenous in-groups and out-groups as well as dichotomies between
them. There are some differences though in how this is linguistically
realised and who is classified as an out-group. Both groups cast
social actors in particular roles and establish ethical norms, but
strategic planning and utopias are more prominent among lesbian
separatists. Freedom, advantage and authority are central in each
group's argumentation, but lesbian separatists also stress
humanitarianism while MGTOW focus on financial matters.
