Again, the term is not literal. There is also a term called the PC thought-police; a reference to politically correct loonies who seek to censor free speech and anything they dislike, they are not literally the police but it is clearly figuratively speaking.
Quote:as that is enough reason to avoid the term.
If it is used in figurative terms, which was the intent when created, then I disagree.
Quote:The second problem is that people who use that term commonly use it for all feminists. (E.g., Rush Limbaugh, etc.)
I did actually agree that it can be be used to conflate all of Feminism, but it can also be used to separate and disassociate the bigoted radicals from the reformers. In that regard, it is a beneficial tool so I am afraid it works both ways.
Quote:It is one of the worst terms to use, because it is childish name-calling, an attempt at rather than actually addressing any issues.
Not really. If radical Feminazi bitches come out with silly nonsense, to the point of extremism, they get called Feminazi's. Here is an example.

^ This bigot was deemed a Feminist; yet her ideals are clearly extreme (wanting to reduce the male population by 90%) yet she was still deemed a Feminist. She is quite clearly a Feminazi.
In regards to 'actual issues' --- I have not seen the Feminists who tackle the issues of FGM (Female Genital Mutilation) or female rights abuses in the Islamic world ever called 'Feminazi' because they are respected for their fair stance.
Quote:If you want people to think you have the intellect of a not-too-bright elementary school child who engages in name-calling rather than serious discussion, then it is an excellent term to use. But if you want someone of sense to take you seriously, it is a terrible term to use.Again; if a radical Feminist comes out with extreme statements, they will get insulting names attached to them. Anjem Choudary is a radical Islamic preacher in Britain; he has been met with ''name calling'' because he is a spreader of hate.
To be honest, those who are deemed Feminazi's are not taken seriously in the first place because of the nonsense they spout.
Quote:Dottal. org is a website for crazy. Like anti-vaccine drivel:
Anti-Vaccine is drivel but I must ask, what is the relevance of this?
My link was a complimaion of quotes from radical Feminists. Not from the website itself....
Quote:The layout of the site screams "crazy" as well, which suits its content. Really, no one of sense is going to take anything they say seriously. They cannot be trusted for accuracy or coherence.
Excuse me, but I do not undesrstand this. The site was not taking a slant against Feminism, it was a complimation of quotes from radical Feminists; hence why I posted another link to verify the legitimacy of the quotes. They're not made up. The content is radical Feminist content.
Quote:This list starts with by claiming that the writers of the quotes are "Clinically Insane People."
Yes, a figurative term which is naturally associated with loonie-bin statements.
I'm not sure why the legitimacy of the websites are in question when all they're doing is quoting someone else. Doesn't take a top quality website to do that.............
