If you are w*oman who is actively vocal about feminism, there is a high chance that you have been called the word — Feminazi. Well for the longest time, I thought that the people who misinterpret feminism are fit to be called ‘Feminazis’. Well upon much thought, the following questions occurred to me :

Has a bunch of misrepresentative feminists ever ghettoised an entire segment of the population?

Have they massacred and shown signs of brutal repression while erasing an entire population?

Have they mentally traumatised a segment and their generations to come because of their feminist believes?

No? Then this term is as foolish as can be. The word is not only redundant but also reduces an entire broad conversation into petty joke making.

Nazism is still a word that sends a chill down a spine to all who know what it is. Misrepresentation of feminism can never equate the bloat on the human race that Nazism created. No matter how much you wish to believe, but matriarchy will never be fully realised in a society that has a history of hundreds of years of patriarchy. Thus, it is better to first realise the baggage that words carry, before hurling them at someone. Nonetheless, it is always a good day to learn something new!
