Describe Faludi’s basic argument regarding backlash of feminism.
What will be an ideal response?
Faludi’s basic argument was that the waves of feminism have fostered legal, economic, and political progress in the United States. That is, to some extent, feminists have been effective in promoting a more equal and equitable society. However, in response to this progress, a counterassault of antifeminism and modern sexism has been launched. This is the backlash against women, feminism, and gender equality.
