antifeminism = feminism (transparent) = anti + femin + ism
The meaning is directly built from 'anti-' plus 'feminism', expressing opposition to feminism.

Antifeminism is made of anti- meaning 'against' (as in antiwar) and feminism, the movement for women's rights from Latin femina 'woman'. So antifeminism means being against feminism and the fight for women's rights.
