The school of feminist thought that, instead of fighting for gender equality, is more concerned with seeming liberal and feminist and not actually *being* feminist. This is often achieved through strict internet doctrine and openly ostracizing those who do not agree with them. One other symptom of Tumblr Feminism is that, when asked to explain their opinions, sufferers will get angry and storm off rather than actually answering the question. Similar words and ideas include Feminist Nazi, fringe feminists, and feminventing.
Origin: The term "Tumblr Feminism" derives from the social media site Tumblr, which is one of the major gathering places of those with such beliefs. However, Tumblr is not the only site this phenomenon is present, and likewise, not all feminists on Tumblr are true "Tumblr Feminists."

"She told me that I was anti-woman for thinking strip clubs are wrong. Don't strip clubs actually contribute more to the objectifying of women, which is detrimental to female rights?"
"Yeah, don't put much stock into what she says about the matter. She's a Tumblr Femininist."
"Because she believes in Tumblr Feminism, she is against all forms of shaming. Unless, of course, it involves shaming someone who has a different opinion than her."

Get the tumblr feministmug. A girl (or boy, but generally a girl) who thinks that re-blogging photos from their parent's basement on a MacBook that they didn't buy with their own money is "being an activist" when in reality they have probably never gone to a protest, fundraiser, or meeting for any social justice organization and probably never will cause any civil change in their lifetime. Similar to a "Facebook Activist" a la the Kony 2012 viral video.
A Tumblr Feminist will also post pictures of themselves naked or half-naked on the internet and claim it is "art" and attack any person who talks about their body (despite the fact they posted their tits on the internet).

Get the tumblr feministmug. Mostly teenage girls that spend the majority of their time on tumblr laughing at text posts made by other tumblr people and watching shows like supernatural, pretty little liars, and American horror story. These people have a very sarcastic sense of humor and are usually a bit antisocial when offline. These people don't get a lot of sleep due to tumblr. The text posts made by tumblr people are usually very relatable to other tumblr people, but tumblr can be a very scary place sometimes if you are not a tumblr person.

Get the Tumblr-Staffmug. A teenage white girl who likes to post depressing selfies and put a quote that's supposed to be inspirational and inspire people and make them either:
A. Fall in love, or
B. Not kill themselves
Or song lyrics as the caption. They are usually very pretty, but if someone comments on their picture like "You're so pretty!", they'll be like "I'm nowhere near pretty, but you're gorg!" They post pictures of their food and Starbucks, too. Oh yea, and they write in all lowercase. They'll never admit their a tumblr girl and they are either hippies or emo girls. They like vintage clothes by the way.

Tumblr girl: *Takes selfie wearing a crop top and high waisted shorts, looking to the distance and not smiling in front of a brick wall. Posts selfie. Sets caption as "I'll wait for you forever, because I honestly don't want anybody else"*
Normal girl: *Comments on picture* "OMG you're so gorgeous!!"
Tumblr girl: "I'm far from gorgeous, but you're perf♡"
