Reactionary feminism is a conservative variant of feminism that emphasizes gender essentialism.[1] The term originated in a 2021 article by the author Mary Harrington[2] and was later expanded upon in her book Feminism Against Progress.[3] Louise Perry has been associated with reactionary feminism.
Many reactionary feminists are anti-abortion. It aligns with aspects of maternal feminism and rejects 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.
