The existence of the term feminazi from the point of view of social psychology.

The word feminazi has been used in recent decades to refer somewhat vaguely to women who believe in the superiority of their gender over the male and want to impose themselves on men through totalitarian practices.

So far, whether there is someone worthy of the title “feminazi” or not, it seems that this is just one of many words that have been coined recently, but its existence is not a coincidence.

The idea that the word feminazi refers to is a set of arguments about feminisms. This is a journalistic invention that responds to the smear campaign directed against the feminist movement by conservative political positions. An attempt was made to create a discourse in which feminists were associated with Nazism .

To do this, they have the valuable help of stereotypes and heuristic reasoning, two elements taken into account in political propaganda and social psychology .

As well as special cases

The meaning of the term feminazi may change from time to time, and what it refers to may exist to a greater extent depending on the context. Are there women who think they are superior to men? Given the number of people inhabiting planet Earth, it would be risky to say no.
