Feminists that promote gender equality, accepting differences, etc - except they're really just doing the exact opposite. You know the crazy women on the street that say "All men are rapists!" and "men are diseased"? Or the women who berate you when you open a door for them? Yeah - That's who we're talking about here. Not to be mistaken with actual, sane feminists, who think men aren't just a bunch of crazy dickwangs, and believe equality is right for both genders.
Actual straw feminist quotes...
"All sex, even consensual sex between a married couple, is an act of violence perpetrated against a woman." - Catherine MacKinnon
"All men are rapists and that's all they are" - Marilyn French
"I want to see a man beaten to a bloody pulp with a high-heel shoved in his mouth, like an apple in the mouth of a pig." -- Andrea Dworkin
Did anyone read these and not just go WTF??

Get the straw feminist mug.A locical fallacy in which the arguementative point is made into a caracature of it's original point. Extremely effective because it's not based on facts, but lies and assumptions. The burden of proof then lies in the defense, not the offense. Especially effective when the defense isn't allowed to offer objection. Popularized by right wing talk radio hosts Rush and Hannity.
Step one: Build the straw man. Ignore facts and make outlandish lies/slander. Redefine the facts. "liberals want to take your guns away and turn the U.S. over to the U.N."
Step 2: Knock down the straw man. "That flies in the face of everything we Americans believe in."
Step 3: Connect step 2 to step 1. "Only a communist would think of something like that."
Step 4: "Negate" your opponant by opposing the conclusion in step 3. "I hate those liberal communists. If they think us right-wingers will sit quietly while they destroy the country the're dead wrong."

Rush and Hannity can't argue the facts, so they have to make up the "evil liberal agenda" and then appear patriotic by opposing it.

Get the straw bale house mug.1.Someone tried talking about women's issues on the internet but people kept responding with straw feminist arguments.
2. Guy 1: "I hate feminists, they think all men are rapists and women are better than men."
Guy 2: No dude, those are just straw feminist arguments. Real feminists don't think like that.
