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

    I was thinking moroso female nazis that hide behind feminism, such as transphobes pushing harmful legislation under the guise of “protecting women and girls”

    So the “femi” part refers to feminist nazi, not necessarily just female nazi

      There also were fascist „feminists“ right back to Suffrage. Many white women at the time explicitly campaigned to not make Suffrage universal to Black and indigenous peoples. 3rd wave feminism was in reaction to the continued shortcomings of the 2nd wave who came after Suffragettes - TERFs in fact are a resurgence of the worst of 2nd wave dogma around gender.
