Maybe I am being a bit agressive, but I like to think I'm not way out there like the type of "feminist" and I use that term loosely, who think women deserve better treatment than men. Also if the term feminazi isn't meant to compare feminists to the Third Reich, then why does it have "nazi" in it.
It seems to me that what feminism is and how people view it differs according to time and geography.
Regarding the word feminazi, there's a whole Wikipedia page on it, and there it says that Rush Limbaugh coined the term defining it as meaning "radical feminists whose objective is to see that there are as many abortions as possible". I guess, you could see that as a comparison to a group of killers of many people. Prior to reading this IIN question, I didn't perceive it as such.
However, it seems that "food nazi" and "spelling nazi" are also terms used by people, and I would think there isn't any intention of referring to the Holocaust there.
it is supposed to compare feminists to nazis thr was probably just trying to be polite.
the reason feminazi is a popular word is because it sums up how most people view feminists.
arrogant, heard minded, trying to blame another group for their struggles.
in the early stages of the holocaust, Adolf blamed the Jews for the widespread poverty in Germany. He found an eager audience among the uneducated and simple minded.
IIN that I think people who disagree with feminism are all pigs?

You are being too aggressive. Opposing feminism doesn't mean you dislike women.
The term feminazi is maybe off the mark, but I think it is not meant as a comparison to perpetrators of the holocaust.
