Talk:Feminazi

Selectively misquoting the reference

This is what the article says:

The term is used pejoratively to attack feminists who have been successful or who are perceived as extreme. http://books.google.com/books?id=TZs-PBVD_p8C&pg=PA177

And this is what the reference says:

..."he (Rush Limbaugh) is attacking women who have been most successful in the fight against rape"

I reverted this, because a) It doesn't match, and b) This is an example of the use of the word as used by one person, and interpreted by another.

Well spoken; thanks. -- Charles Edwin Shipp (talk) 13:58, 24 November 2015 (UTC)

Feminazis don't criticize in 2015?

The originator of the term questions the lack of their political activation when it comes to Muslim Islamic-refugees who are women. He is using political satire to support his point.

Limbaugh

The article seems to be mostly about Rush Limbaugh at present, who is almost unknown outside the US (or viewed with derision). The 'feminazi' term is used much more widely than that, usually to describe a feminist who makes unreasonable and/or misandric statements. --Ef80 (talk) 01:00, 30 December 2015 (UTC)

Yes, I agree with this statement. I came to the Feminazi page as a reader and I've never even heard of Rush Limbaugh. In other words, the focus on Limbaugh constitutes "undue weight" and "worldview" violations. Really, he only deserves one sentence in this article.Newzild (talk) 08:34, 24 October 2016 (UTC)

One's personal lack of knowledge isn't a reason to divorce a term from its well-known origins. Ongepotchket (talk) 21:51, 24 October 2016 (UTC)

Playboy

I vaguely recall Playboy calling second-wave feminists "their natural enemies" in the late '70s or early '80s; while "Feminazi" may not have been used, the graphic of feminists as Brownshirts was certainly used, if memory serves. Meme territory, but there you have it. kencf0618 (talk) 00:40, 22 January 2016 (UTC)

Non sequitur

I'm removing the last paragraph of the etymology and use section b/c it's a non sequitur constituting WP:SYNTH or WP:OR (one or the other or both). None of the cited sources mention the term feminazi, let alone make the connection between these statements and feminazis. Here's what it said: "Other political commentators have also made comparisons between militant feminism and totalitarian ideologies. In 1994, Camille Paglia described some feminist groups as "Stalinist" for engaging in what she describes as censorship and quashing of dissent.[17][18] In 1983, a year before Limbaugh debuted as a political talk-show host, anarchist Bob Black wrote an essay called "Feminism as Fascism".[19]" PermStrump(talk) 19:16, 6 April 2016 (UTC)

I think that this paragraph belongs into the article...just not into the section it was in. I think there needs to be a new section that features that paragraph. I can't think of a fitting name though - anyone else? --Fixuture (talk) 19:34, 25 May 2016 (UTC)

Needs more information.

I feel like this article needs to draw more attention to the fact that this term is used heavily on the internet when it comes to attacking feminists. Also it seems like many if not all of the sources come from feminist leaning sources, it may be good, if possible to see what some "anti-feminist" sources have to say about this subject.
