Femi-nazis

Well why would you ever call a non-feminazi a feminazi? It's a fairly specific term.

Although if you called me that, I'd get offended, and I don't think I have the right hardware to qualify as a feminazi. Ergo, your conclusion is wrong.
 
"Femi-nazi" is a subjective term, that means different things to different people. So one could be offended by your use of the term, depending on the context in which you use it.
 
Femi-nazi is a term that hangs around the user like powdered sugar off a bag of donuts letting the whole world know you're a pig.
 
ahh. the clip haired broads wit little moustaches. they usually wear motorcycle jackets and drive volvos. And the back is all plastered up with eco-KOOK stickers.

Consistency is not always an admirable trait.
 
I'd be offended if you called me a femi-nazi. However, my offense would be being classed with those people, not because the term itself offends me.
 
i had an experience with Femi-Nazi-ness at a party on July 4, 2007.

one of the women present mentioned Starhawk. as in self-declared Pagan Goddess Channeler
http://www.starhawk.org/

i have always been a little put off by people's adopted names. for example, i used to take
physical yoga classes at a place run by a pseudo Sufi Islam cult. one of the cult members
renamed himself "Steve Supreme".

Starhawk evokes similar feelings.

anyway, so what i said in the presence of these 2 dedicated feminists, was,
"i wonder if her friends ever say, "hey, Starhawk, babe"." just thinking out
loud, it's a party.

what i heard from one of the 2 feminists,
"i am SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
offended." (by my use of the word babe).

Jeez, i've lived in California for maybe 30 years, i hear people use the word "babe"
all the time. i hear young people using the term "gina" (short for vagina"). the
feminist acquaintance who was SO offended emailed me the next day and asked
me to never email her again.

now, what Bill O'Reilly would say is, that's an example of PC.

what i would say is, if you find out that a particular word offends somebody, you
just don't use it around them - that's normal human etiquette.

but, in this case, i didn't get the chance to show respect for the feminist's feelings.

no big deal, but i guess that's as close as i'll get to understanding what the term
"femi-nazi" means.

though i think sometimes people use the term, and they're just referring to
someone's idiosyncracies, like the way this acquaintance felt about the use of the
word "babe".

because you are offended by being called a femi-nazi, you are a femi-nazi

Actual femi-nazis, the ones who get offended if someone holds the door for them, spells women "womyn", legitimately thinks men are responsible for all the world's ills and things would be perfect if women ran it, insist on "she" as the default pronoun, and use "oh my goddess" as a curse.

Basically nonsense change just to get in people's faces.
