feminazi

Synonymous with feminist. A term popularized by conservative broadcaster Rush Limbaugh, who may or may not have originated the term himself. (Limbaugh credits a friend of his with coining the term originally, before he put it into use on the air.) In Limbaugh's use, the term refers specifically to advocacy for abortion rights as being a sort of miniature holocaust, because "it's almost comparable to what happened during World War II." He has also broadened use of the term to belief in a wage and employment gap, essentially broadening the term to include any feminist who is not also "Pro-choice." As used by others, it most often refers to a female chauvinist. (That is, a woman who believes that all women are innately superior to all men.) Accusations of "Feminazism" are often leveled at prominent women whom the speaker does not agree with, especially if they happen to actually be radical feminists.
