What's this "real men" shit? I disagree with this whole line of thinking.
Also, it's usually bullshit: "Real men pay child support. Real men drive minivans. Real men wear a dress if they want to." The fact is that many men are misogynist assholes-- and they are still real men.
As for feminazis: I think the usage of "nazi" is pretty obvious-- it's about the level of vehemence, hostility, and implied aggression that comes with some kinds of feminism.
You have it exactly backwards. The vehemence, hostility, and aggression are in those who are calling others "nazis." That is not something that decent people apply haphazardly to others. It is childish name-calling, rather than seriously addressing the issues. It is a substitute for reasoning, and an attempt to poison the well.
Really, it should be obvious that calling people "feminazis" is probably not a good idea, given the origin of its popular use. If you wish to associate yourself with Rush Limbaugh, you may continue to do so. But if you do, don't expect people of sense to take you seriously.
