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.

Formula created as a response to the popular University of Florida sports drink ,"Gatorade", after rival college, Florida State University actually banned Gatorade from its campus. Nole Ade was named after the Florida State Seminoles, just like Gatorade was named after the Florida Gators. It was a huge flop for two reasons: 1) Nole Ade came in a can. 2) The name sounds strange.
John: Hey man what are you drinking?
James: Nole Ade.
John: What? Sounds like a brand of cough syrup. Can I try? {tastes it} Yeah, tastes like Gatorade.
James: There is no Gatorade on this campus!
John: Dude, I hate to say it, but your college has brainwashed you.
James: Nole Ade.
