Women Studies assignment. You Don’t Hate Feminism. You Just Don’t Understand It. The latest anti-feminism campaign is a Tumblr called Women Against Feminism.
But the participants aren’t against feminism, exactly. They just don’t get it. It’s never a dull week for feminists, and now Women Against Feminism is the most recent ire du jour.

KELLINGLEY, England — Tens of thousands of British coal miners have lost their jobs in recent decades, during the steep decline of an industry that stoked the nation’s industrial rise, sustained it through two world wars and once employed more than one million people.
Chris Jamieson will be one of the very last. In December, his job is set to disappear when Kellingley colliery, ’s last deep coal mine, is scheduled to close for good. In the mine’s empty parking lot, Mr. Jamieson, 50, is already thinking about the moment in a few weeks’ time when the last group of miners is hauled to the surface. He expects to work the final shift at the colliery, which has been reduced to little more than a quarter of its peak work force and is succumbing to pressure from cheaper imported coal.
