keyboard feminist

A peeved off woman who uses social media purely to demean and belittle men, claiming to be fighting for the feminist cause. They usually find the most trivial of things to cry about, even those where the same point can be made from the male's side or where gender isn't an issue, by misconstruing innocuous matters and completely twisting them out of context. A very common trait among them is that they are oblivious to their own hypocrisy and double standards.

Keyboard feminists are under the illusion that men are immune to sexism because of the "patriarchy", coming up with the most bizarre and speculative of reasonings to argue their point. They're usually found in herds on blogs and Twitter, bootlicking each other and jumping on the back of anyone who sees through and calls out their blatant sexism. They call any male nay-sayer who scrutinises their ethos 'threatened', dismissing everything they say solely on the basis of their gender and resort to hurling petty insults. They like to think women are oppressed in society, ignoring their own plushy lifestyle, nitpicking at statistics and playing the victim card whenever something doesn't go their way.

Keyboard feminists keep believing that they can make a difference to society, as if they are the 21st century incarnation of the suffragettes. They are confined to the internet because they're shielded by their monitor, safe from the backlash and ridicule they would receive if they try to push their agenda out in the real world.

Keyboard feminist: "I am sick of the objectification of women on magazine covers."
Nay-sayer: "You don't have a problem with men posing in just their underwear on the front of them and plastered on billboards."
Keyboard feminist: "Men never have a problem with it either."
Nay-sayer: "Don't you think that people of both genders actually like being seen as sex symbols? They don't object to it if they embrace it, stop sticking your nose into their business."
Keyboard feminist: "But that empowers men, it dehumanises women and shows them as mere sex objects."
Nay-sayer: "So women wearing next to nothing is condemnable, whereas men doing wearing just as much is an aspiration to us?"
Keyboard feminist: "Men can't be objectified, they run the media."

feminish

Someone who believes feminist ideals but is not an activist and doesn't call themselves a feminist or someone who understands where feminist are coming from and won't bash them.

He agrees with those feminists, he must be feminish.

feminista

A third wave feminist. A woman (or man) who actively supports the rights of women in all arenas, regardless of multiple definitions or stereotypes of femininity. Supporting women's right to choose to be whatever it is that they desire, whether that is a mother, banker, artist, doctor, teacher, lawyer - or all of the above. A feminista is not necessarily "that girl from women's studies who can't get a date" or inherently unattractive in any way. She (or he!) is many things or anything, so long as that person actively supports a woman's right to have the opportunity to do anything she imagines, without societal, cultural, religious and especially political laws or preconceptions limiting her potential. A feminista also supports women's reproductive rights.

Growing up, Sarah's mother had been a big time lawyer; but Sarah, being a feminista, did not necessarily look down upon women who were stay at home mothers. Women had the right to choose their own paths.

A feminista would stand against politicians who have tried to limit the actions of Planned Parenthood, based on the fact that a woman has the right to make her own decisions with regard to her own body.

Despite being quite the feminista, Morgan got a lot of attention from guys - perhaps more so than some of her peers.

Mark considered himself a feminist because, despite being male, he supported and defended the rights of women. And hey, his wife made almost twice as much as him, which allowed their growing family to live quite comfortably.

Fainites

1960s North London (UK) playground slang/shout used to opt out of a game temporarily, or to prevent yourself being tagged in a game. Often it is accompanied be crossing the fingers and the arms in front of your chest and standing still.

The call can also be used to suspend a whole game temporarily, for example when an adult walks across a football pitch

Said to be derived from the Old English "Fain would I..." or "I do not want to..."

"I was about to be tagged, but I shouted "fainites" so he went on and tagged someone else."

"I was just about to boot the ball when an old lady walked across the playground and someone shouted "fainites".
