Edit: The term feminazi was once used as a shorthand for “feminist nazi” for those that don’t know.

    i think what you mean, which other comments may have misunderstood (or im wrong and other comments are closer to op’s true meaning), is a usage of this term similar to terf, like misappropriating feminist ideals for a Nazi-like agenda.

    kinda fun, could totally be misconstrued as misogynistic though.

      Someone using the term “feminazi” is absolutely someone who is misogynistic.

      The term has nothing to do with Nazis and everything to do with criticizing and tearing down outspoken feminists.

          I read into this line a bit much, apologies if I came off a little harsh. I did think you agreed with me!
