Someone who rejects medical advice and scientific consensus about the efficacy and safety of vaccinations. Typically pairs with anti-government paranoia, anti-corporate sentiment, conspiracy theories, and the "appeal to nature" fallacy. Anti-vaxxers also spawned the movement of autism-trutherism, which claims that autism is caused as a response to adjuvants found in vaccinations.
While there are several common schools of thought among anti-vaxxer circles, specific claims will often change about why vaccinations are harmful. The anti-vaxxer will single out benign ingredients as being particularly toxic regardless of its concentration, or sometimes that inoculation itself is a sham practice and was never necessary. Many anti-vaxxers instead champion "natural immunity," which involves actually contracting the disease that is vaccinated against in hope that they will be less susceptible to it in the future.
Tactics often include the "argument from ignorance," the "appeal to nature," and "begging the question."

An anthro is, technically, an animal that can: a) walk upright, b) talk, or talk somewhat (AKA has human vocal chords), c) has human features (i.e. a centaur, half human, half horse), d) has the bone structure of a human, with some of its animal counterpart (i.e. a cat-anthro that although looks like a human, can jump like a cat). These characteristics separate anthros from humans with cat ears and tail (or something like that).

Jeremy was an anthro wolf. His nails were abnormally long, and his hair was scruffy like a wolfs hide. Ears protruded from his head, which followed sounds as as full wolfs would. Long tail protruding from his back swished side-to-side. Jeremy leaned against a rock, waiting for another of his kind.

Get the anti dentite mug.Women who are opposed to feminism because they believe the movement stands for negative goals and whose activists most often tend to be a toxic group of people.
Anti-feminist women often believe in equality but are not open to perpetual and often professional victimhood. They believe in responsibility for individual choices and often oppose special treatments for women, in any shape or form.
They also believe that true equality encompasses men as well, and that women's liberation was as much the result of men's support as much as the women who asked men to accommodate them. They believe that similarly extending empathy and understanding to men, instead of villainizing them and creating gender wars, is more of a noble and constructive goal.

Anti-feminist women are often slut-shamed and objectified and derided by feminists as ass-kissing men for not following their cult... but that's okay since feminists' hypocritical behaviour is actually justifying their anti-feminist beliefs.
OR
Anti-feminist women believe that feminism is a cult and that equality is better served in a less toxic and bigoted movement.
