Difference (from prior major revision) (no other diffs)

Changed: 1c1

"Feminazi" is an pejorative term used by conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh and his followers to refer to "radical" feminists, implying that feminists seek to enforce political correctness in the same way as the Nazis enforced "socially correct" thought.

"Feminazi" is a pejorative term coined by conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh to refer to feminists who oppose all restrictions on abortion. 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.

Changed: 3c3

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.
