I watched Posie Parker on YouTube last night but I won't link to the video.

However, I did want to reference where I first heard the term.

She says, because "feminist" has basically been taken by men, and by women who are not centering women in the slightest, and doesn't mean what it should mean anymore (we're all familiar with "Everyday Feminism" with Riley J Dennis right?), there's a new term in need.

I think Femalist works quite well. Where "Feminist" seems to be linguistically linked to "feminine" (probably not the intention of the term but you can see it there) "Femalist" looks to be quite obvious what it's about.

Posie Parker is against "Gender Critical Feminist" as a term because in doing so you're basically supporting the idea of gender but from a protest position.

Protest Politics is not a position of power.

What's your opinion? I quite like the term instead of GC Feminist.

The problem with “Femalist” is that it is not a new word, it already has meaning and it means someone who pursues/courts women with the connotation of womaniser or fuckboy.

So no, I think she’s off her rocker to suggest changing Feminist to Femalist.
