[quote=Anonymous]I've seen the word [b][u]feminazi[/u][/b] tossed about on several posts lately. Surely I can't be the only one who finds the term offensive (and on so many levels). As a Jew who has many relatives who survived Nazi concentration camps (and even more relatives who didn't survive), equating feminists with Nazis is just so disgusting, even more so when you consider that Nazis were anti-feminist and anti-choice. And as a woman and feminist who is proud of what women have accomplished in the realm of equality and civil rights over the past 150 years, I am disturbed that so many women throw this term around. I'm always so surprised by the number of women who willingly use a word that was brought into popularity by Rush Limbaugh, who will never be mistaken as a friend to women, a word whose only purpose is to demean women and make their accomplishments and demands for equality seem small and worthless.[/quote]
