Reading Leslie Chan’s piece, I was startled to learn that one of the criticisms he had encountered early on was that open access is “anti-feminist.” That’s a critique I had not encountered myself, and when I went looking online for examples of it I came up empty. (What I did quickly find were several examples of feminist arguments in favor of OA – for example, at http://bit.ly/2yIRr6G and https://www.alevin.com/?p=2643.)

 

Has anyone else encountered the argument that OA is anti-feminist? Has something been published somewhere along these lines?
