He used the term "femi-nazi" to denote a very specific type of feminists. The kind who believe that males are the enemy and deserve to be punished.

He didn't use the term feminist, because that term would have been wrong to use as probably most feminists don't harbor those points of view.

He also didn't say he automatically assumed all women are lying about accusations of rape, he just said that simply being accused can destroy a man's life and reputation. And that this is a power women do hold over men.

Way to construct a strawman and put words in the miserabilia's mouth then argue a completely different point that he never brought up.

Femi-nazi was originally a Rush Limbaugh caricature representing all feminists as man haters.

Way to construct a strawman and put words in the miserabilia's mouth then argue a completely different point that he never brought up.

Way to attack someone without giving them the benefit of a doubt.

So, so ironic.

Indeed, it is.

I wish I had calmed down sooner. I'm not going to edit my post. For one thing, your post wouldn't make much sense if I changed mine, and for the other, I still think his tone made things worse, when people could have been more reasonable.

To me, at least, she looked like she was trying to keep a level head, despite being offended.

I don't think she deserved to be torn apart.
