A faux feminist is just that, a fake feminist. This can be for various reasons, such as a person claiming to be a feminist to 'fit in' with a group of people, or a person who uses feminism to bash and belittle non-feminists (usually men). They generally only use feminism to hurt or attack others.

Get the Psycho Feminist. mug.While toxic masculinity is direct, aggressive and loud, toxic femininity is more indirect, passive and quiet.
Toxic feminity is when a female passively, indirectly uses her sexuality, or excessive empathy, or woman card, or manipulative tricks to gain power/social status/money/attention or just to lead people to do something for her.
These will be done in a very passive, indirect, silent manner which makes it difficult to prove when confronted.
Examples:
1. Sexuality: (a) Indirect sexual teasing via texts or social media or touching others in a sensual manner. And when you say don't do it, their usual reply is: "I didn't intend that", "Why do you think like that", "felt something?" etc.
2. Excessive Empathy: (a) Crying furiously until you do something. (b) Faking emotions to get something.
3. Woman Card: (a) Blaming patriarchy for her incompetence.
4. Misc.: (a) Belittling others or shaming them out of jealousy. (b) Body shaming other females. (c) Constantly trying to one-up others even in casual sittings. (d) Gossip, smear campaigns.
It is done in a way that confronting, calling out, proving it becomes difficult and if you are a male then puts you in a bad light.
How to deal with them:
1. Avoid at all cost. If you have already got in deep then "passively" cut ties. By ignoring, keeping replies short and never asking them for something or initiating conversation.
2. They want you to fight back. So dont. Hold your dignity and move on, they hate it a lot.
