[quote=Anonymous]To the PP and the other poster talking about feminism somehow putting down men, etc.  all these posts shows are your own misguided perceptions based on "friends" or breast feeders, etc that vary from your own.  The core issue is feminism is a movement that like any movement has a wide variety of opinions and perspectives and there is no monolithic feminist.  I have never met anyone who calls them a feminist in real life that hates men or does not want equality for all.  The discussion about asshole versus bitch is just weird and I have no idea how that is supposed to diminish the feminist movement.  Sounds like your friends have their own personal issues and to be honest no one should be speaking to their partner using any of those words.  I just can't imagine you really thinking a feminist thinks it is ok to call a guy an asshole but would call him an "abuser" if he calls her a bitch-it just sounds like you are raving about your own personal pet peeves.

Back to the original term though feminazi is used by ignorant people and that about sums it up.  They try to use an offensive lable to dimish what is being said when they can't match the discussion in an intellectual way.  That is true for all name calling though.  If we all lived in a different time or different area of the world where women did not have the rights we currently have I think this discussion would be quite different.[/quote]
