In recent years there has been a growing mass of women who claim to be feminists and who seek improvements in many things for the female gender, but they have gotten out of hand, they have even been defined by the term "feminazi" for being so radical even grating on the absurd. This word is spreading more and more, and it is that it seems that these women believe themselves superior to men and want to use totalitarianism to make it known and noticed; so the term fits like a glove.
This social stigma that has been given to the new feminist current in the world does not respond unless social stereotypes and branches of thought are promoted in the social psychology from which these groups emerge and where there are those that lead them to extremes and who put names like "feminazi" to extreme feminists.
The term feminazi is something that can vary over time and often depends on the context, however you can not judge in a negative or positive way the existence of the word as such, so it will never be something that represents a single person but to a complete movement, in relation to Nazism, this word emerged in the 90's where it sought to delegitimize feminism and its heritage by discrediting women who have fought for more than 100 years, but I think that in the end it is not the fault of those who have coined this term; but of the actions that have led to its use and the way in which the feminist movement is being radicalized in many places, where one no longer struggles for an ideal but for a superiority that is even sickly.
Generalizing is never a good idea, because we fall into the heuristic thought that leaves us only slips of thought or intellectual laziness, since it is an automatic way of thinking; so I think we should be very effective in determining when something is wrong or out of context. In the nineteenth century feminist women in Western countries achieved the right to vote, something that caused great shock at the time and was disowned by many this made the movement was transformed into actions, doing something revolutionary and something legitimately positive for women although At that time many would not think so, maybe this could be radical for that time; so many advertising companies were responsible for making women look like evil and masculine features (does not this sound like?). And although at that time it does not seem like an extremist idea for many it was, I still see that it was an equality struggle and although advertising is always deceiving the feminist movement of today does not have much harmony with seeking improvements for women but shows an appearance even anarchic of this group. On the other hand there will always be extremists on both sides.
A term that goes hand in hand with the definition of feminazi, this is complicated; because there are two sides, the real feminists who are affected by this propaganda and the extreme feminazis that really look like they do in advertisements, as in the case of political campaigns where the rival is discredited, hurting the real background of an improvement or a social struggle.
One of the main characteristics of this movement or that is seen a lot through social networks is that where women seek to impose themselves before men and look superior, as in the case of a young woman in Russia where she used chlorine to throw at men's trousers while They were sitting in a practically empty train. However, bad publicity is something that will always exist, I have always believed that within this movement there must be women who really do seek a pro-woman struggle and have an equal justness, not a fight for nonsense like the one I mentioned before.
This is something that always happened, publicist used the image of feminists to create campaign making them look like men or women with a rough look this in the XIX century; today, although many women still struggle to have femininity and feminism on top; many like this movement that is becoming increasingly polularized only seek to damage the image of women (in my opinion), leaving aside the neatness of many women with extra long body beautiful, quite extreme aspects even with very close appearance the PUNK, being anarchists and uninhibited. They are characterized by their ingrained hatred of men or the one that apparently screams, a left appearance or of disinterest; the truth as a woman this group does not represent me; no end is never good and personally fight for nonsense as put on a train, or have an "inclusive" language seem to me a waste of time and that these girls are only looking for one thing: Attention.
I do not think that it looks like a tribute to feminism, do you think?
