Feminazi is a term used pejoratively in popular culture to describe either feminists who are perceived as extreme or radical,〔〔(Linguistic politics and language usage in the debate on "Political Correctness" ) by Peter Skutta〕 women who are perceived to seek superiority over men,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Rules of Feminism )〕 rather than equality, or in some cases, to describe all feminists.〔("Angry Feminazis and Manhaters: How Women Develop Positive Feminist Identities in the Face of Stigma" ) by April Dye for the Association for Women in Psychology Abstract: "Popular culture often portrays feminists as 'feminazis.〕 The term was popularized by politically conservative radio talk-show host Rush Limbaugh and in use since the early 1990s. It is a portmanteau of the nouns ''feminist'' and ''Nazi''. The online version of the Merriam-Webster dictionary defines the term as used in a "usually disparaging" manner, to describe "an extreme or militant feminist".〔(Online dictionary )〕 == Etymology and usage == In his 1992 book ''The Way Things Ought to Be'', Limbaugh credited his friend Tom Hazlett, professor of economics at the University of California at Davis, with coining the term.〔Rush H. Limbaugh, ''The Way Things Ought to Be'', Pocket Books, 1992 (p. 193 ) :''"I prefer to call the most obnoxious feminists what they really are: feminazis. Tom Hazlett, a good friend who is an esteemed and highly regarded professor of economics at the University of California at Davis, coined the term to describe any female who is intolerant of any point of view that challenges militant feminism."''〕 In the book, Limbaugh also stated that the word refers to unspecified women whose goal is to allow as many abortions as possible, saying at one point that there were fewer than 25 "true feminazis" in the U.S.〔Britt Gillette, ''The Dittohead's Guide to Adult Beverages'', Regnery Publishing, 2005, (page xii )〕〔 Limbaugh has used the term to refer to members of the National Center for Women and Policing, the Feminist Majority Foundation, the National Organization for Women, and other organizations at the March for Women's Lives, a large pro-choice demonstration.〔 In 2004, Limbaugh named feminist activists Gloria Steinem, Susan Sarandon, Christine Lahti, and Camryn Manheim as "famous feminazis."〔''The Rush Limbaugh Show'', June 22, 2005: "In The Washington Post we get a little story: 'Tips for the Democrats, Hint: Next time don't compare anybody to Hitler.' And by the way, the only reason they're doing it is because Rush Limbaugh invented the term 'feminazi.' That's the sum total of the Washington Post story—Durbin did it because I popularized it first with 'feminazi.' I haven't used that term on this program in years. But it still gets to 'em, doesn't it? And you know why? () Because it's right. Because it's accurate. () The feminazis gathered in Washington on Sunday, about a half-million of them it says here, and it was the first big pro-abortion rally in 12 years....Now, let's go to the audiotape. Let's listen to some famous feminazis who were speaking yesterday at the pro-abort anti-Bush rally. In order, they are Gloria Steinem, Susan Sarandon, Christine Lahti and Camryn Manheim."〕〔Rush H. Limbaugh, ''The Way Things Ought to Be'', Pocket Books, 1992 (p.193 )〕 In 2005, Limbaugh said "I haven't used that term on this program in years. But it still gets to 'em, doesn't it? And you know why? Because it's right. Because it's accurate."〔 As of October 2012 Limbaugh was still using the word regularly on his show.〔''The Rush Limbaugh Show'', October 17, 2012.〕 Other political commentators have also made comparisons between militant feminism and totalitarian ideologies. In 1994, Camille Paglia described some feminist groups as "Stalinist" for engaging in what she describes as censorship and quashing of dissent.〔Rodden, John. (2001) Performing the literary interview: how writers craft their public selves. University of Nebraska Press, ISBN 9780803239395, p. 169.〕 In 1983, a year before Limbaugh debuted as a political talk-show host, anarchist Bob Black wrote an essay called "Feminism as Fascism".〔(Feminism as Fascism )〕 In 2012, Limbaugh blamed "feminazis" as the cause of a decades-long trend of penis shrinking.〔(Rush Limbaugh Blames 'Feminazis' For Study Finding About Shrinkage In Male Genitalia ), Huffington Post.〕〔"(Limbaugh: Penises now ’10 percent smaller’ and shrinking because of ‘feminazis’ )" Raw Story.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Feminazi」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
