Not to mince words, or use weaselly ones, I'm right and you're wrong, Slp1. We can and should also change the text, of course, so that's not much of an issue. What our current sources demonstrate is exactly what I have suggested should be our wording: Many scholars and other observers have described the men's rights movement as a backlash to the feminist movement. It is really no more weaselly than our current wording: It is considered to be a backlash to the feminist movement which, of course, invites the question ""by whom;"" the answer being ""by many scholars and other observers."" The answer is not ""by all scholars"" of course; and no, we don't need to find scholars who explicitly argue against it being a ""backlash"" because disputing epithets given to certain social movements is rarely the work of scholars. It is enough that some don't use that description. As for the fact that some MRM folks embrace the term, as I basically explained to Binksternet, that and two dollars will get you a cup of coffee.   "
