Might help also to describe what you think feminism is, since it’s one of those terms that is overloaded.

I once had a physical therapist tell me she wasn’t a feminist because she thought women couldn’t be as physically capable as men when serving as soldiers, and seemed to believe feminism requires treating women exactly like men.

I told her I was a feminist because I believe in equal rights for men and women, an idea she did not seem so opposed to.

    "feminazi’ is kinda like calling a woman a “female”. Its use conveys a “I’m a sexist pig” message you do not seem to intend.

    Better terms for women who believe that (cisgender) women are superior to men.

    • Feminine Supremacist
    • Feminine Chauvinist
    • Sexist Woman
    • Man-hater
    • Anti-feminist
    • F.A.R.T.
    • Sexist woman
    • Sexist pig

    Some of these may covey other messages in their usage.
