The Backlash! - January 1995

Definitions not approved by feminist extremists

Words are not like chewing gum, to be molded, masticated, squished and spit out. Imprecision -- loose definitions -- leads not to truth, but to imprecise and loose thinking. - Rod Van Mechelen


ANDROPHOBIA - a term Robert Anton Wilson -- RAW -- defines as a "transmutation" of negative stereotypes "from racism to sexism" that is characterized by malebashing and "psychological gendercide."

ECHO FEMINIST - a male-feminist who echoes pop-feminist propaganda; an anti-male man.

EQUALITARIAN - a person who supports equal rights and responsibilities.

EQUITY FEMINISM - According to Christina Hoff Sommers -- CHS -- the "First Wave" feminism that asked for "fair treatment , without discrimination."

FEMIGOGUE - a feminist leader who gains power and popularity by arousing the emotions, passions and prejudices of the people.

FEMINATIC - one who sees all social dynamics in terms of male power and female powerlessness.

FEMINIST - a person who advocates or supports equal rights and responsibilities for women.

GENDER FEMINISM - Short for "Sex/Gender Feminism," according to Christina Hoff Sommers, it is the doctrine that holds that women are "in thrall to 'a system of male dominance' variously referred to as 'heteropatriarchy' or the sex/gender system." That is, a "complex process whereby bi-sexual infants are transformed into male and female gender personalities, the one destined to command, the other to obey."

MEN - According to P.C. Seldom, nother word for "unprotected sex."

MISANDRY - hatred of men/MISOGYNY - hatred of women.

NEW RAGE WOMEN - female antimale bigots who use or advocate the use of angry public demonstrations and/or violence against men.

PATRIARCHY - in modern times, the social arrangement that provides women and men with equivalent rights and responsibilities.

POD FEMINIST -- according to Susan Faludi's recent article in Ms Magazine , a pod feminist is, apparently, anyone who claims to be a feminist but supports equal responsibilities as well as equal rights, does not believe upper and upper middle class American women are not oppressed, does not believe 33 percent of women are rape victims, and advocate a policy that treats both women and men like human beings. Not to be confused with a "real" feminist, who is not to be confused with those women who "just play one on TV."

POP-FEMINIST - a person who demands rights and privileges for women and responsibilities and restrictions for men. Anyone who subscribes to Faludi's idiotic pod feminist definition above.
