@JuliaHB1 @TomChivers @Emmabarnett @PatrickSawer But there are signifiers and signified right? I don't think it's a very helpful term.
@catherinegee so you don't see the huge difference between accepting diff viewpoints and people being told what words they can & can't use?

@JuliaHB1 No one told you you can't. Can you see the difference between can't and shouldn't? -
@catherinegee yes, fair point but that still doesn't have anything to do with accepting people having different viewpoints, does it? -
@JuliaHB1 So do you accept that many people, when they see the term nazi, will think you're calling feminists nazis? -
@catherinegee by the way, I am a card carrying feminist but I believe some of the silly anti-sexism campaigns give feminism a bad name. -
@JuliaHB1 I agree absolutely there. But I think the term feminazi is damaging/horrendously insensitive. Nazis were genocidal maniacs. -
@catherinegee people use the term Stalinist all the time and Stalin killed far more than Hitler. Feminazi is not the same as Nazi. -
@JuliaHB1 If you say so. I think it diminishes the actions of real nazis. It was still coined by a man who said... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rush_Limbaugh#Feminism … -
@catherinegee you really think any word, anything or anyone can diminish what the nazis did? Really? Really?!?!?!?!?! Wow. - 4 more replies
