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).

Feminists are very much like the fascists of the third reich. For some reason they have this insane delusion that women should have the same rights as men. You can not reason with feminists since they do not understand words, so their arguments consist of small grunts and dissatisfied screaming.
-It really annoys me when feminists tell you that they're fighting for genderequality, but at the same time put up terms that will make an inferior race.
-Yeah, being inferior is female business.
-I love you Trevor,
-I love you too, John, but not in a homosexual way, since women would just protest again how we prefer men just because they're men.
