Apparently A word or phrase considered in general to be bigoted, but claimed by its user to be a descriptive truth that is suppressed by political correctness. Sometimes used to just mean bigoted language in general.
I'm not exactly sure (because I cannot find a free copy of the entire originating article), but it seems to originally be an inside joke shared among people who have studied semantics, a phrase coined by then Institute of General Semantics executive director Steve Stockdale in a 2007 article entitled, "A Fence Sieve Language," which appears in the publication by the General Semantics Institute called, Calling Out the Symbol Rulers.
"Fence sieve" appears to be an ironic take on a quote from Aldous Huxley's 1963 article, "Culture and the Individual":
"A culture cannot be discriminatingly accepted, much less be modified, except by persons who have seen through it─by persons who have cut holes in the confining stockade of verbalized symbols and so are able to look at the world and, by reflection at themselves, in a relatively new and unprejudiced way."

Get the femcel mug.although the word is supposed to describe a girl who's a female version of an incel. it doesn't always necessarily mean that. girls who often call themselves a femcel are girls who like music, fashion, and run a tumblr account. most of the time she actually has no idea what a femcel means, she just calls herself that because she thought it was a cool girly thing to describe yourself.
