The anti-pornography page has a part on how feminist movements relate to it, but I want to add in a section about the CWA and how some who oppose feminism also oppose pornography, and why. It also states that it needs an expert in conservatism, so even though I'm not an expert, I believe I could add that expertise on this page.

'''In the 19th century, one of the major focal points of antifeminism was opposition to women's suffrage. '''

Opponents of women's entry into institutions of higher learning argued that education was too great a physical burden on women.

^^^This was already there, but I feel like I want to change it. Why does it say that the opposition was to women's suffrage, and then talk about higher learning? Those aren't the same thing.

Conservative opposition to pornography stems from the idea that pornography threatens the traditional family.

Concerned Women For America (CWA) is a movement that fights for the sanctity of marriage and life, among other issues. When discussing violence against women, the CWA utilizes pornography to illustrate their point time and time again. The CWA asserts that pornography is the reason men inflict harm onto women The CWA argues that pornography convinces men to disrespect their wives and neglect their marriages, thereby threatening the sanctity of traditional marriage. Unlike other issues CWA has tackled, they are less forcefully anti-feminist when it comes to the topic of pornography, as many of their points surrounding why pornography is distasteful parallels anti-pornography feminists

There are, in fact, similarities between income between activists on both sides of the ERA debate. As it turned out, the most indicative factors when predicting ERA position, especially among women, were race, marital status, age, and education ERA opposition was much higher among white, married, older, and less educated citizens.

20th century

Organizations Concerned Women for America (CWA) is a movement that fights for the sanctity of marriage and life, among other issues. It is decidedly and publicly antifeminist in practice and theory. It frames itself as being for women, by women, but as a group it opposes feminist thought. CWA, and similar conservative women's groups, make appeals for maternalism and biological differences between women and men
