Where "ad hominem" arguments refer to those consisting of replying to factual claims by attacking a characteristic or belief of the individual making the argument or claim - rather than by addressing the substance of the argument - an "ad feminem" argument would characterize the same phenomenon, but in a specifically feminist context (as in contentious debates between Women's Studies scholars).

I am so weary of these ad feminem attacks by so-called sex positive women, against those of us working to create options for women who want to leave the sex trade.

Get the feminem mug.Related Words
Mildly talented, extremely over-rated entertainer. Was a racist pig as a youth, has since offered a half-hearted "well, boys will be boys" type of apology. Utilizes Black music to tell tales of raping his mother and killing his wife. Feminem achieved his popularity in large part due to his skin color; if you tell an average white feminem fan that feminem is not The Best Ever, the fan will react as if you insulted every member of his family.
I hope Feminem means it when he says "Curtain Call", i.e. retirement. His "music" has gotten progressively suckier.

Get the Feminem mug.Term used to insult Eminem for being an arogant punk who talks big but has nothing to back up his diminishing manhood. The reason why the pants are so baggy, and the grabing at shows is not to conceal a weapon but to adjust that which he desperately lacks.
Feminem was never all that talented from day one; if he could make it out of poverty, then why donsn't everybody just try and do the same thing... lol, o ya he wrote a song about that too didn't he.
