Feminazi: It's never OK to call anyone a Nazi - even us feminists. The term 'feminazi' - a poisonous portmanteau of the words 'feminism' and 'Nazi' - has left the dark web and gone mainstream. How has this happened.

THE FOLLOWING IS ONE OF HE POINTS FROM THE COMMENTS SECTION:

"Do I really have to spell it out? Every time you call someone a feminazi, you’re equating the fight for gender equality – for women to have their fair share, nothing more and nothing less – with mass murder. "

So you think Charlotte Proudman was only striving for equality, do you?

Sorry - if the cap fits, wear it. Let's look at what your fellow feminist journalist said just last month:

" I would actually put them (MEN) all in some kind of camp where they can all drive around in quad bikes, or bicycles, or white vans. I would give them a choice of vehicles to drive around with, give them no pron, they wouldn’t be able to fight – we would have wardens, of course! Women who want to see their sons or male loved ones would be able to go and visit, or take them out like a library book, and then bring them back."

She wants to put men in concentration camps - but we can't call her a "feminazi".

How about Valerie Solanas: “To call a man an animal is to flatter him: he’s a machine, a walking d11do.”

Or the director of Sweden’s women’s shelter, Under Von Wachenfeldt, agreed with Solanas when she said: “Yes, man is an animal. Don’t you agree?”

Hmm..denying a certain group of people their humanity? Who does that sound like....let me think...

And then there are those who think men should be exterminated - #killallmen, for example?

Exterminating said group. Nice. Not Nazi at all, eh?

Nazis were also famous for their complete intolerance of free expression and anyone who said something they didn't like and didn't conform to their views was hounded and severely punished - like cancer scientist Prof. Tim Hunt, or Dr Matthew Taylor and his "sexy" shirt, or Donglegate. Decent, honest men hounded out of their jobs by "feminazis".

You know what? I think the term is entirely appropriate.

/#KillAllMen: I have no idea why feminists are being compared to nazis. (takes a sip from a "Male Tears"-mug)

So Seinfeld's Soup Nazi episode was an attempt to equate an overly-strict shopkeeper with gassing 7 million people to death. And Grammar-Nazis are... (sigh) too depressed to go on...

DillipFayKick · 2015-10-29T23:31:22+00:00

Stop acting like Nazis and we might stop calling you Nazis. It is our right of free speech to call you whatever we want to though.

2015-10-30T00:43:52+00:00

The 'journalist' writing this article says:

Merriam-Webster defines [Nazi] as: "... an evil person who wants to use power to control and harm other people especially because of their race, religion, etc."

Sounds exactly like 3rd wave feminism to me.

Hi, I can call you what the fuck I want.

Clockw0rk · 2015-10-29T22:07:05+00:00

Maaaaybe when your 'community' develops nasty habits of manipulating information, silencing dissenters, advocating violence and slurs against those you disagree with, exclusivity of 'you're with us or against us', and being complicit in the abuse and oppression of an entire class of people...

Maybe you deserve to be called Nazis.

It's kind of funny. For as much as feminism seems to hate meritocracy, this is something you've earned.

Ultramegasaurus · 2015-10-30T04:17:55+00:00

Well, if you burn books and ask men to be interned in camps, what do you expect?

One of those women is the woman that was saying that air-conditioning is sexist and she wonders why people call them feminazis really?

Keiichi81 · 2015-10-30T00:20:11+00:00

That's because the feminazis left the "dark web" and went mainstream. When the shoe fits...

iongantas · 2015-10-30T03:03:01+00:00

Because, like Nazi's, feminists are fascists.

MonkeyCB · 2015-10-30T04:28:01+00:00

Meanwhile they'll scream misogyny the second you dare to disagree or criticize them.

KonigInPreussen · 2015-10-30T00:00:18+00:00

left the dark web

I thought Rush Limbaugh coined the term...

Wikipeda:

The term was popularized by politically conservative radio talk-show host Rush Limbaugh and in use since the early 1990s.

Bloody hell. They can't even google shit before they make bold claims.

DavidByron2 · 2015-10-29T21:54:47+00:00

The word "peanut" has also escaped from the dark web.

If you see this word, report it to the authorities immediately and we will apprehend it and drag it back to the dark web.

Warning: do not attempt to approach "peanut" by yourself.

THEY WALK AMONG US

BigAl265 · 2015-10-30T03:22:27+00:00

Well, if it walks like a nazi and talks like a nazi...

pnw_diver · 2015-10-30T00:32:11+00:00

This is hysterical: the term "feminazi" did not emerge in the "dark web". The term was coined in the 1990's by Rush Limbaugh, in radio broadcasts. This term was "mainstream" probably before whatever Princess Pixiedust McFeminist wrote this P.O.S. article was ever born.

When someone starts a sentence with "It's never OK to ...", they are moralizing, but trying to hide the fact that they're doing it by appealing to some kind of decency argument. Treat them the same you would someone who told you "it is sinful to...".

wisty · 2015-10-30T05:49:10+00:00

Look, I get that Nazi is a neat little suffix. And I realise the English language is in constant flux. But the crux of the matter is that ‘Nazi’ has just one, unequivocal, meaning. It is not a catch-all term for extreme behaviour. Imagine if we all went round freely adding the letters ‘KKK’ to the end of words. It isn’t debatable. And it isn’t acceptable.

Paging Joss Whedon - how about comparing GamerGate to the KKK?

How about every left-wing protest, when they compared conservatives to Nazis?

SupremeAuthority · 2015-10-30T04:48:56+00:00

Femnazi femnazi femnazi.

Wargame4life · 2015-10-30T08:24:29+00:00

I don't use the term "feminazi", the actually correct technical term is "obnoxious-batshit-moronic-cunts"

2015-10-30T12:56:55+00:00

How has this happened.

Gee, I wonder...

2015-10-30T07:05:14+00:00

Feminists can be divided into three groups: 1) the actual feminazis (aggressive, hateful, contemptuous of outgroups and constructed "others", propagandist, conspiracy orientated), 2) those who don't mind (the large majority) and 3) those who fight feminazis (a barely visible minority).

Also, look at this: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/women/womens-life/11955355/Working-on-a-womens-desk-3-years-of-online-hate-in-3-minutes.html

Is the Daily Telegraph trying to recruit Jessica Valenti?

HotSauciness · 2015-10-30T05:34:40+00:00

It's a dumb word that makes you look petty and childish. Regardless of your views, it's hard to take somebody seriously when they resort to namecalling like that.
