Feminazi...

How upset are you when you are called a feminazi? And why?

For me, the insult to me is almost always water off a duck's back. I just hate the underthinking misappropriation of Nazi. It's like breadtapo...............

It doesn't upset me as such. But I see it as an expression of hatred and misogyny, whether it is a man or woman saying it. To use the term, you must really hate the idea that some women are prepared to stand up for their rights.

You accused me of being a mysogynist. Please justify your accusation with some evidence!

Jmslvlc990 · 09/02/2017 18:04

I don't want to say now because
A. It will make me look silly ( even sillier than I already feel if yr correct about what you say)
And
B. It will reveal my password to everyone!

So who posted your password on the thread then?

Bertrand is correct. Only MNHQ would known passwords. The only users who can do anything with the boards are the NightWatch and they have limited powers.

Jmslvlc990 · 09/02/2017 17:56

In that case I stand corrected.

"Most boards have moderators with admin rights"

I don't think Mumsnet does.

Most boards have moderators with admin rights.

Anyway tell me why you think I'm a misogynist?

DJKKSlider · 09/02/2017 17:51

I'd rather read posts and threads from supposed 'Feminazis' than posts and threads from people excusing their BF/Husbands for being lazy and helpless by patting them on the head..

"Aww at least he's trying bless him"
Etc.

Nah.... Screw that, expect better I'd say. (I can't be a feminazi though, I dont think they let men join)

Jmslvlc990 · 09/02/2017 17:51

What evidence do you have for that?

"Also someone kindly posted my password on the thread because she didnt like what I was saying, so I took that as a threat to keep quiet from someone with admin rights to the board."

Really? I don't think Mumsnet works like that............

Oh yeah- have been referred to as a goady Fucker too.

And I wasn't complaining, I was responding to point that you shouldn't use innane personal attacks against feminists...ie just pointing out the pot/kettle nature it.

And Im misogynist!

I got called a goady fucker and a femin-twat-zi last night.

What is the point of complaining about personal attacks if you don't report them fgs? Just makes you look like you're attention seeking.

And to be fair you are a misogynist....

Really? On that thread? Why didn't you report it?

VestalVirgin · 09/02/2017 17:36

Oh, god, don't say things like that - it'll appear on another thread as an example of how extreme and man hatery feminists are....

Yeah. After all, we live in a post-fact society.

The fact that such a thing never ever happened won't prevent anyone from taking it as justification for their misogyny.

Ah, sorry, Sea. I thought you meant the "poor jms"!

Prawnofthepatriarchy · 09/02/2017 17:16

Feminazi wouldn't affect me at all - water off a duck's back. It's the sort of slur - like TERF & SWERF - that says very bad things about the person who uses it and bugger all about the person being attacked. The conflation of feminist and Nazi shows that this is someone who knows nothing about feminism and has absolutely zero sense of proportion. Unless, to be fair, they're referring to the concentration camps for men and all the massacres feminists have carried out on men over the years.

I can't take it even vaguely seriously. It's not as if misogyny is new or ground breaking.
