feminism

A left-wing movement in Western culture originating in the 1960's that seeks socio-economic equality between men and women.

Proponents of the movements cite years of hardship by women when they could not access the same basic privileges as men (e.g. such as the right to vote). They argue that even though throughout history most human societies have been patriarchal, rapid advances in the past hundred years have made it necessary to rethink the status of women in relation to men. They cite that the extremes of living in a patriarchal society such as domestic violence, sexual harassment, sexual assault, and discrimination against women as their primary reasons for supporting feminism.

Opponents of the movement argue that feminism has gone too far and has accomplished most of its original goals. They argue that if it proceeds any further, there is a real danger that feminism will go on to elevate the status of women and result in a generation of emasculated men. They add that feminism has hurt gender roles and made the typical family structure unstable and caused an increase in divorces, breakups, abortions, etc.. With a surplus of women working, they argue that this has resulted in them them being away from their spouse and children and them spending less time at home.

feminazi

A person of any gender, who has been brainwashed or coerced into activity through a secret U.N/ New World Order initiative whose goal is, by destroying males by any and all means, to adjust the balance of power towards non-traditional families or towards single women. The end result is to create more unhappiness and chaos so as to destroy the power of the traditional family unit, and to put more power, particularly in the indoctrination of children, into the hands of government social scientists and new-age educators. Part of the original Margaret Sanger eugenics movement; she had powerful Nazi connections.
Infamous "Gang of Five" man-hating judges were indoctrinated Feminazis. They cut a vicious swathe through Ontario, Canada jurisprudence in the early '90's. Out of 700 cases heard, mostly in family court, 99% ruled in favour of women and for Children's Aid.
The ensuing scandal has since been covered up.
