Not anti-feminism, but an ideology, perhaps based on societal norms,
that has a definite opinion on a woman's place, which may then spill
over into Halachah, in which case reasons are then sought to justify
it.  [This is only a suggestion; I am not sufficiently well-versed in
the sugya to state a definite opinion.]
