womantic:

psa: feminazi is a fucking disgusting term that compares fighting for women’s rights to genocide.

it was coined by rush limbaugh (that alone should be enough to make you stay far far away from it)

it is a racist term, and it is disrespectful to marginalized groups who suffered in nazi germany (so jews, rroma, lgbt folks, people with disabilities, etc.)

do not use it.

if you disagree with feminists: do not use it

if you are a feminist: do not reclaim it

thank you

agreed.
not a helpful term. what we mean by “nazi” nowadays has shifted and changed in certain contexts, and context is everything. but re: “feminazi”…it’s just too easy a way to dismiss radical feminists while generalizing and meanly insulting, which is, as far as I’m concerned, always a backwards step.

I automatically assume someone is a bigoted idiot if they choose to appropriate things like THE FUCKING HOLOCAUST to make a point. It’s disgusting and offensive on multiple levels.
