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.
IIN that I think people who disagree with feminism are all pigs?
