Needless to say, it is the most incompetent and insensitive terminology refering to:
A. The victims who suffered tremendously under Hitler's regime during WW2.
B. Feminism and how misunderstood it's many messages are today in modern society.
So even if anda aren't a feminist, atau maybe even not even pro-feminist (which i can assure anda are completely different things), anda most definately shouldn't tolerate this fad. Here are four, quick, clear reasons simply to start anda off. I could go on for hours on how opressive and and perilous the word 'feminazi' is, and how it's spectactularly fallacious. But here are just my MAIN reasons.
1. It desensitises and exploits the suffering of the holocaust victims.
Millions were starved, tortured, suffocated and enslaved under the command of the Axis powers. Not only the Jewish, but homosexuals, Gyspies, transvestites, Italians, Mexicans and people of colour to name a few suffered in ways indescribable due to Fascism. Calling a sub-culture who fights for EQUALITY rather than for a Aryan race is making this suffering seem like a usual and casual part of life in modern society. If anda use a extreme term to describe some-thing else entirely (and in this case positive), it almost undermines how horrific the holocaust was. To simplify this theory, heres an example:
anda are holding a packet of walkers crisps* (or potato-chips, to use universal terminology). Your Friends keep calling these crisps Doritos , but when anda look down and taste the crisps, they do appear to be in-fact, walkers . However, your large group of Friends keep insisting that these are doritos (Or lebih commonly known as Nachos) , and after a while anda start to believe it and assume that doritos must be exactly like walkers . When it is most definatly not.
Compare this analogy to the subject at hand. walkers can represent feminism, and doritos Fascism.
From this, anda can probably see how delussional and ignorant the term 'Feminazi' is already. It can brainwash and manipulate our veiwpoint, and is most definately not respectful to the survivors of WW2 atau to women.
2. It antagonises the liberation of women and feminism.
This is the most pressing and obvious issue with
'Feminazi',at least in my opinion.
As well as terrestrializing Nationalism, it also makes the female race and supporters of their rights seem like a issue, and chauvinism the victim. This is quite openly intentional, and i don't think any of the misogynists even care that it's factually wrong.
Theres not really much lebih I can add to this, as it is quite simple in concept, but still worrying.
3. It is historically inaccurate.
Let me put it this way: Hitler and all of his followers were NOT FEMINISTS. If anything, the 1940s in Germany was just as male-dominated and shaped sejak gender roles as the rest of the back-ward world. This may seem petty, but i Cinta history, and surely anda should know about WW2 before the age of 10?
4. It is hypocritical.
So the masculist campaign has spent thousands of American currency on things like "femi-nazi awareness" billboards, posters and leaflets, and it is a popular conversation for MRAs which some people even write omnious blogs centered on the term.
In the words of Shakespeare: Methinks thou dost protest too much .
Spending valuable time and money on a hate group sounds a little too much like the events of 1939 to 1940. If anda are so transfixed on outing feminists as Nazis and trying to turn society against them, perhaps anda need to look in the mirror.
So, there anda have it.
Don't use the word "feminazi". I know if i was to tell this to a misoygnist it would probably fall on deaf ears, but seterusnya time someone uses that word, fight back with awesome logic and watch there smug smile fade.
