feminazi
Anti-feminist slur term
Feminazi is a derogatory term for a feminist perceived as extreme or militant, suggesting her views are authoritarian or oppressive.
The word blends feminist with Nazi, implying that advocacy for women's rights has become tyrannical.
Popularized by conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh in the 1990s, it remains a dismissive insult used almost exclusively by critics of feminism: The feminazis won't be happy until every man is castrated.
