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

    are you saying:

    people used to use word “feminazi” as a short for “feminist nazi” but, ha ha, there were no actual feminist nazis back then but now there are?

    if so, is it either:

    • people used a short form of a phrase that referred to something that did not exist (an extraordinary assumption which i find hard to believe)
    • people used it for real Eva Braun-loving (?) chicks that were real nazi’s and real feminitsst … and now there is another group of people that we need this term for?

    that’s blindingly insightful and infuriatingly incoherent: the purest form shower thought, indeed 🙃

      Modern feminism is not compatible with Nazism. This is because Nazi ideology has baked in discrimination.

      You are right that it did coexist in the past.

      I think the term’s roots are misogynistic and the meaning is a militant feminist. So no actual Nazi ideology.
