Feminazi meaning (what is it, concept and definition)

What is Feminazi:

Feminazi is a pejorative term used to describe supporters of the feminist movement. It is a derogatory neologism used to refer to a person or group whose feminist thoughts they find as absurd as that of those who generated the holocaust.

The word feminazi is an acronym for more Nazi feminist. Feminist is a supporter of the movement that emerged from the current of thought that criticizes and vindicates the role of women in macho and patriarchal society: feminism.

On the other hand, Nazi are the militants of the German fascist party, blamed for torturing and killing millions of Jews in concentration camps during World War II.

Feminazi is generally used to refer to members of radical feminism movements, whose members have sometimes been accused of feminism, a concept analogous to machismo.

Feminazi is a word accepted by the Royal Spanish Academy in 2014. Its acceptance has been much disputed because it makes official in the language a term created in a macho context, but on the other hand, it accepts the natural evolution of the language created in specific contexts.

In this sense, the macho subject who uses this term does not want to hear the reason for feminism, whose expression considers violence that affects them directly. By becoming victims, they make the analogy with Nazi concentration camps against Jews, with Nazis being feminists and Jews being men.

Feminazi and feminism

Feminazi is an antonym to feminism. In this sense, feminism is a current of thought that groups movements and policies for the inclusion of women in society and, in general, gender equality.

On the contrary, feminazi indicates a gender segregation, which denotes the existence of a group that considers itself superior to another, to the point of wanting to exterminate them.

Feminazi and machismo

Feminazi is not a feminine analog of machismo. Feminazi is itself a macho word. Machista is an adjective or noun for sexism that despises women. Its analogue is femaleness, adjective or noun for those who despise males.

On the other hand, hembrismo is considered synonymous with misandria, aversion to men, analogous to misogyny, hatred against women.
