No, feminazi because from the things I've seen reported from atheism + they looked a lot more like misandrists than feminists. I think it's funny how someone we aren't fond of says something and everyone is ready to pounce on him. Everything I've read from atheism + was bullshit 'feminazi' (for lack if a better term) garbage. Could be I just got a biased person quoting to me, but from what I read if they did bite the dust it's no one's loss.

Much like I don't like the word fascist being thrown around just for the sake of, for example - Calling someone a bigot.
I don't have knowledge of anyone hijacking the atheist community like that, but could you explain more?
I get your point and I almost agree with you. The problem is...language doesn't care what you or I think. It will continue to grow and change as people use it differently and words will lose their meaning a gain new meaning. Like it or not, it is a fact of life. Take a look at the word bimbo originally meant small child, was used in the 1920's to describe a ladies man, and now it means superficially gorgeous but brain dead woman who sleeps around.
