@JuliaHB1@TomChivers@PatrickSawer Nazism is the ideology and practice associated with the 20th-century German Nazi Party and Nazi state -
@Emmabarnett yes, thank you for that, Emma. -

@JuliaHB1@TomChivers@Emmabarnett@PatrickSawer But there are signifiers and signified right? I don't think it's a very helpful term. -
@richardosman@JuliaHB1@Emmabarnett@PatrickSawer exactly. whatever you *mean* by saying "feminazis", the term invokes the *actual* Nazis. -
@TomChivers@richardosman@JuliaHB1@PatrickSawer and we are in the business of words -
@Emmabarnett@TomChivers@richardosman@JuliaHB1@PatrickSawer There's already a term for what you describe: radical feminism. Sans genocide -
@catherinegee@Emmabarnett@TomChivers@richardosman@PatrickSawer so you use that term and I'll use mine. -
@JuliaHB1@catherinegee@Emmabarnett@richardosman@PatrickSawer freedom of speech means you're allowed to say it & we are free to criticise -
@TomChivers@catherinegee@Emmabarnett@richardosman@PatrickSawer and I am allowed to tell you why I can use whatever bloody words I want! - 15 more replies
