Feminazi

Feminazi is a pejorative term coined by conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh to refer to feminists who express, adopt, or legislate views which favor women over men or favor homosexuality over heterosexuality.

He will often give examples of what he considers feminazi actions or attitudes, such as pointing out that there is a Women's Studies[?] department or chair at almost all universities but no Men's Studies[?] department.

Others have used the term more loosely, referring to "radical" feminists in general, implying that feminists seek to enforce political correctness in the same way as the Nazis enforced "socially correct" thought.

The use of the term is generally considered ad hominem as well as ironic. Hitler's National Socialist German Labor Party (NSDAP) strongly opposed feminism and advocated the singular role of the woman as a "breeder" and child-carer.
