There is still enough room for feminism to achieve that a post-feminist thought is perhaps an attack on feminism than a product of it. But there has been a progeny of view in reaction to the feminist waves, and addressing them shall, in many ways, shape the 21st-century feminist debates. Contrary to the existing postfeminism thought that argues that the feminist movement has achieved the objectives it had set for itself, I believe there is more scope in analysing the reactions to the feminist waves because of the changing identity of the feminist movement.
The conservative reaction to feminism grew after the third wave of feminism, with an irrational fear of radical feminism that sought to establish female supremacy to counter male dominance. The coining of female superiority is, on its own, a remark to red-label the movement. To identify weak points and knock down the juggernaut. However, the argument has merit as it points out that feminism seeks to create a class of oppressed men subdued using the political momentum of the feminist movement. This contradicts the cause of rising feminism, a massive gender inequality that fostered discrimination and exploitation. As a response to this radical feminism, it advocates for better grooming of men, a cause championed by speakers like Jordan Peterson. This, as a reaction to feminists, has clashed with the feminist movement after that, calling out its legitimacy in the subsequent waves.
The liberal reaction, however, has been quite different. It has sought to expand on gender discrimination, fighting the very construction of gender based on a binary. The modern feminist theory does harbour this thought within itself, as it focuses on gender neutrality than a men-women equivalence. However, the latter is a silent commandment of the movement. This movement for gender neutrality worldwide, which includes acceptance of LGBTQ and subsequent empowerment of gender choice, is the goal that feminism wants to achieve today. For this movement to succeed, we need to accept families with non-heterosexual parents. Only then can the idea be naturalised and every generation's struggle against its parent end.
The fourth wave of feminism, which brought to attention as sexually predatory nature of male dominance, points out that these other minority genders are under a grave threat of such exploitation. There is room for societal upliftment, even within the feminine class, which is seen as potentially vulnerable. This implies that a new generation of men, who seem to have a warm relationship with their partners and colleagues, tend to abuse their power when they find a victim. This, as a reaction to feminism, is dangerous, not only because it shifts the injustice to women who don't have the resources to fight the battle but also highlights that feminism has just shifted victimhood rather than completely mitigating the dominative nature of a patriarchal society.
